RL

LEARNING

We are now introducing Remote Learning (RL) as a way forward for
students to engage in their academic learning experience. It is a
conventional programme with study methods implemented in situations
where students are not physically present in a traditional classroom
environment but attending class online and remotely.

Quality of teaching and learning are not compromised with the RL
method. Students are able to engagewith classmates and lecturers
through interactive sessions.

Remote Learning uses the method as currently implemented during the
pandemic and requires adedicated electronic platform such as
SPECTRUM, Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams & etc.
