Since its inception, UNITAR has embarked upon innovative learning where technology is featured significantly but never replaces human relationships. Its pursuit to offer competitive quality education in both conventional and remote teaching modes continues till today. It is embodied in the UNITAR's Education Core ("UNIEC"), meeting the needs of the 21st Century education.
UNIEC (UNITAR Education Core) is the UNITAR's Holistic Innovative Learning, which is the essence of UNITAR's teaching and learning. The learner-centered learning environment is when learning can be seamless anytime, anywhere, while engagement between lecturers and students deemed essential for learning can occur in a virtual platform. UNITAR acknowledges that learning does not occur only in classrooms; hence, UNIEC provides a learning environment across time and place. This is 21st-century education that UNITAR offers.
UNIEC has various initiatives such as the campus management system (UNIEC Campus), learning management system (UNIEC Virtual), UNIEC E-Books, UNIEC Space, Student Profiling System, communication tools such as 0365 Microsoft emails, social media, and others. These systems are designed to be user-friendly. Workshops are also conducted during orientation, while UNIEC Clinics are conducted throughout the semester. Besides that, students can also walk-in to the Open Stop Centre for assistance. UNIEC Virtual, the virtual learning platform, is very simple. It is a communication tool, collaboration tool, creation tool, sharing tool, analysis tool, and personalizing tool under one system. It is just like using other Web 2.0 tools available out there; however, we concentrate on using it for education purposes.
