THE UNIVERSITY

The University of Puthisastra (UP) has an ambitious program to deliver a dynamic and innovative approach to university education: a combination of the rich, interactive experiences of face-to-face learning and the flexibility and creativity of online education. It’s not just about putting lectures online, it’s about reimagining how students learn, engage, and apply knowledge.

Going beyond traditional classroom boundaries, UP students benefit from in-person collaboration and real-time feedback from our academics, while also enjoying personalised, self-paced learning and learning support through UPOP, our Moodle digital learning platform.

THE DEPARTMENT

We are working to empower students to take more control of their education. For our Health Sciences and ICT students, this means access to virtual labs, digital case studies, interactive tutorials, and collaborative group work that can happen anytime, anywhere. The department supports these approaches, and researches, tests and integrates learning technologies within UPOP to provide curriculum leadership and support classroom teaching.

Note: While the Blended Learning Office is currently part of a broader re-imagining of UP’s learning and teaching support areas, the key focus of this role will remain unchanged.
