Overview

The Teaching & Learning office has been established in 2014 to guide and facilitate the schools and centres of IMU University to implement evidence-based approaches in teaching, learning and assessment. Dean, Teaching & Learning is assisted by three Associate Deans, Dean of schools, and T&L chairs the University Teaching & Learning Committee (TLC).
There are three subcommittees:
  • Assessment
  • Clinical & Experiential Learning  (CEL)
  • Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL)

Each subcommittee is chaired by the Associate Deans and consists of representatives from the schools and centres. All three sub-committees report to TLC, which reports to the faculty board and senate.

Message from the Dean of Teaching & Learning

Welcome to the IMU Centre for Education (ICE) website. ICE has played a pivotal role in training of health professions educators for many years. Apart from offering Certificate, Diploma and Masters & PhD in Health Professions Educations, ICE continues to train the IMU University and external faculty on evidence-based teaching-learning practices, assessment methods and technology-enhanced learning through its year-long Faculty Development Activities (FDA).

ICE plays a crucial role in quality assurance process by arranging faculty evaluation by the students, evaluation of modules and programs by the students across all cohorts throughout the year.  Student Barometer Survey is conducted annually to measure student satisfaction with the educational environment.

The results from the survey are triangulated with the module and faculty evaluation and guide the action plans to enhance students’ learning and teaching experiences.

Hope you will be able to know about the diverse activities of ICE and T&L from the website. We also welcome you to join our degree programmes and upskill yourselves.
