The Universitas 21 Global Pedagogy:
Universitas 21 Global works provides personally enriching paths to life-long learning through the sophisticated use of world-wide information resources. To achieve these ends, we employ a carefully designed and fully integrated instructional methodology that focuses on the learner’s experience in the online environment. Among the particular features of our academic programme are:
§ Active communication with other class members and instructors through the use of email, real-time Internet chat, public folders, threaded discussions, and other web-based communications tools.
§ Academic content presented in a series of segments, each of which is an intellectually coherent unit with clearly stated objectives. Students demonstrate and enhance their understanding of the coursework through problem-based projects and assignments.
§ Initial assignments provide experience in the use of the core communications and resource retrieval technologies.
§ Student engagement through the use of interactive activities and through problem-solving exercises, some of which are individual, while others are team-based.
In addition, Universitas 21 Global offers a range of academic and student support services through a combination of online and contact centre services. These include:
ACADEMIC PROGRAMME COUNSELLING
Our enrolment counselling centre provides information concerning available programmes, counsels companies on the programmes that best meet their interests, and explains the nature and requirements of online learning, among other services.
ONLINE LIBRARY
The Universitas 21 Global library is closely integrated as an active learning resource. Each subject will have links to articles and other online materials, and also has a subject-specific-library site.
PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING
Students develop the intellectual capacities and enhanced skills to meet effectively the issues they will face professionally. Subject assignments involve the solution of problems that reflect real-world situations.
STUDENT-CENTRED-CONTENT
Clearly defined outcomes and frequent rewards are a fundamental part of the learning environment. Many subjects include student-centred learning activities that allow students to use their life experiences as resources in solving assigned problems.
Universitas 21 Global Learning Experience:
Universitas 21 Global Subject Design and Instruction:
INTERACTIVE & COLLABORATIVE TECHNOLOGIES APPLIED TO LEARNING
Subjects are offered through the Internet, and the emphasis is on active engagement through interactive exercises, integrated communication-rich learning, and frequent self assessment. Active web-based communication tools such as email, real-time Internet chat, public folders and threaded discussions are employed. These activities also contribute to the creation of an international community of students, teachers and expert practitioners.
ACTIVE FACULTY FACILITATION
Highly qualified instructors maintain pro-active communication with their students throughout each subject, including continuous monitoring, prompt response, guidance in problem-solving and assessment of student performance.
FOCUS ON GLOBAL CONTEXT AND EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONS
The degree subjects have a truly international focus, with many examples and cases drawn from business environments in a variety of regions across the globe.
EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING QUALITY
Universitas 21 Global has developed a carefully designed and fully integrated instructional methodology in the online environment. Instructors with experience at distinguished institutions in many regions of the world are appointed to teach Universitas 21 Global subjects.
Each Universitas 21 Global subject is presented in a series of segments, each an intellectually coherent unit with clearly stated objectives and a well?defined beginning, middle and end. Student engagement will be enhanced through the use of individual and team?based interactive exercises. An Adjunct Faculty member with a PhD in the subject and relevant teaching experience will be assigned as ‘instructor’ to the students and will serve as an advisor/mentor/examiner during the learning period.
SUBJECT WORK LOAD
Active communication with other students will be encouraged through use of email, chat, public folders, threaded discussions and other web?based communications tools, often in connection with collaborative problem solving in small teams. Where appropriate, students may be encouraged also to engage in off?line activities which incorporate their personal, professional and social experiences, increasing the student's ability to apply his or her learning to his or her particular circumstances.
The final segment of each subject will provide a carefully designed concluding experience. Students will complete an assessment exercise, review the stated objectives of the subject and receive an evaluation from the instructor concerning their success in achieving them, and will be reminded of opportunities for continuing study in other subjects related to their current one. An invigilated examination also will be required.
Subjects are designed to require 120 to 140 hours of learning activity.
THE UNIVERSITAS 21 GLOBAL DIFFERENCE:
Universitas 21 Global inherits the educational quality that characterises its co-founders, Universitas 21 and Thomson Learning. Building on that foundation, Universitas 21 Global offers an innovative, forward looking experience in education — providing an international dimension both in content and in breadth through exploitation of Internet resources in the design and delivery of our programmes.
INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED UNIVERSITIES
Universitas 21 Global is unique in the heritage and endorsement provided by the prestigious institutions that comprise its founding Universitas 21 partners. This means our students not only benefit from programmes enriched by this heritage but also obtain degrees that Universitas 21 members recognise.
QUALITY EDUCATION AT ONE'S OWN PLACE AND TIME
Universitas 21 Global programmes are built to fit in with the busy schedules of corporate executives who constantly juggle travel, work and personal commitments. Our full-time students can complete a programme within eighteen months or, studying part-time, within a period of five years. No student is disadvantaged because of unavoidable commitments.
RIGOROUS SUBJECT CREATION PROCESS
Universitas 21 Global appoints an esteemed Subject Author to design each of its subjects. Simultaneously, Universitas 21 Global appoints a Reviewer to assess the scope and quality of the Subject Author's creations. During the design of the subject, the identities of the Reviewer and the Subject Author are withheld from each other. This double-blind review process, similar to that followed by scholarly journals, brings objectivity, impartiality and critical examination to bear on the subject being designed, befitting a world-class graduate business offering.
For corporations, a Universitas 21 Global educational programme is invaluable in the development of corporate leaders for international business development.
Universitas21 Global Accreditation: U21PEDAGOGICA
U21pedagogica is established by Universitas 21 to provide independent, professional quality assurance services for higher education programmes and associated activities. Its quality assurance processes draw heavily from the well-established internal quality assurance methodologies and expertise of the member institutions within the Universitas 21 network. It effectively performs the function of ‘academic senate’.
U21pedagogica thus provides rigorous and highly credible quality assurance for any e-education venture in which Universitas 21 is engaged. In particular, U21pedagogica ensures that standards are maintained consistently with relation to admissions, course design, development, pedagogy and courseware, and assessment procedures.
Other Accreditations
Universitas 21 Global was recently awarded "Pioneer Status" by the EDB Singapore and was also recognised by the Ministry of Education in Singapore. Private Reply to Sabyasachi Roy Chaudhuri (new win) |
