The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged educators to seek different ways to teach and learn in schools and in institutions of higher learning. As a response to this, DUT CI Smart Classroom is a project that aims to provide a comprehensive service supporting online teaching and training sessions.
• Offering Chinese language and culture courses for local communities such as schools or universities
• Providing a platform or venue that supports virtual conferences, workshops or training courses aimed at vocational skills training
The project will provide an excellent opportunity to extend DUT and its CI’s influence on the local community and provide a social service focusing on:
This project will contribute to the economic development of local communities by introducing skills and vocational training workshops and offer various possibilities for youth, including various exchange programmes and internships or study opportunities. The CI is aiming to promote this project widely across the Province so that people who have a strong desire to make a difference could benefit by accessing these opportunities. Therefore, a teaching or training platform/network could be established to strengthen the radiated impact of the project with donors' support.
