Collaborative learningProject basedEagerness to learn from each other

More project based learning,More presentation

Project basedCompetition basedSerious Game

Classroom without wall(three walls principle)

TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED LEARNING

• Game and simulation (provide meaningful learning as it provides many dimensions of the real world)

• Mobile learning (learning anywhere, any time, any place)

• Flip class (on-line lecture at home and problem solving in the classroom)

Entrepreneurship CourseSimulation and CompetitionBased learning

(First Year)

Second year

Pitching and selling their own product(Final year)

LIFE LONG LEARNING(from cradle to grave)

• Today, frontier knowledge may become obsolete within 5 years due to intensification of research and wide spread sharing of knowledge trough the internet.

• Short courses with credits which can be accumulated to earn post graduate degree.

Living laboratories

A traditional laboratory usually is isolated from society and industrial community. Often, researchers are immersed in their research without contact with the real world. As a result, most research products do not immediately benefit the society
