UNITAR Education Core (UNIEC)
UNIEC (UNITAR Education Core) refers to UNITAR’s Holistic Innovative Learning, which forms the essence of UNITAR’s teaching and learning. The student-centric focus is seamless where knowledge transfer can happen anytime, anywhere; and where the conventional engagement between lecturers and students deemed essential for learning can take place on a virtual platform.
UNITAR offers “blended-learning” where student lecturer communication is a mixture of face-to-face contact (known as UNIEC Face) and online interaction (UNIEC Virtual). UNIEC Profiling also allows students to customise their learning environment.
Bringing UNITAR’s innovative methods into lectures is the “flipped classroom” concept of teaching, where students review content before the start of a class in order to use class time for hands-on activities with lecturers. This is one example of the many forward-thinking methods used in the UNIEC learning environment.
- UNIEC Virtual:
The virtual learning platform which offers a combination of tools for communication, collaboration, creation, sharing, analyzing and also customizing (UNIEC Profiling System). - UNIEC Face:
Face-to-face interaction that complements virtual learning, strengthening and reinforcing the learning foundation of students. - UNIEC Tab:
A tablet will be provided to all UNIEC students, equipped with learning enablers such as e-books, courseware, a Campus Management System and customised mobile apps. - UNIEC Space:
Classrooms are designed to support learning in its various forms: co-operative learning, inquiry-based learning, flipped-classrooms, IWV, interactive collaboration and case study learning. - UNIEC Live:
Experience video conferences using the UNIEC system via Big Blue Button, on an open source web conferencing platform developed for online learning.

SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS
Energy Conservation
The central air-conditioning comes on at 7.30am and switched off at 6.30pm, with temperatures on average at 21ºC. Last one to leave any department is responsible to switch off all lights. The campus has installed an energy saving lighting system. Lights are also switched off when no one is present in the department, such as during lunchtime, meetings or an event.
Water Conservation
UNITARians are encouraged to turn taps off when soaping cutlery and other utensils. Faucets and pipes are constantly checked for leaks as we are aware that even a small drip can waste 50 or more gallons of water a day. If a leak is identified, we rectify the problem within the same work day.
Recycling Programme
We print on both sides of a paper to reduce paper use, and where one-sided printing is required, we reuse these papers when placed in recycling boxes. We flatten all cardboard, newspapers, magazines, office papers and common mail for recycling as it makes it easier to be processed and leaves more room for other recyclables.
Green Transport
Our company owned vehicles are serviced every three months to ensure low-carbon emission. These vehicles only run when filled with passengers to reduce trips and conserve fuel consumption.
