Micro courses
Micro courses are delivered online and available to all students. Their format allow students to express themselves, share their opinions and teach other students through one or a series of three-minute videos. Students can use their time away from the classroom to learn using their mobile phones to access the online platform.
Micro courses were delivered under the concept that learning is about more than just listening to lecturers. Active learning comes when students act as the teacher themselves and pass on knowledge and tools that they have learnt or acquired to others.
Learning system
Teaching delivered by the CCTC is focused on the interaction between teachers and students, both through face to face learning and online delivery. Teaching takes place before, during and after classes.
