The Innovative Teaching and Learning Environment System, also known as i-Taleem, was also launched last Friday in conjunction with the launch of the Islamisation Policies and Guidelines.
A project spearheaded by Professor Tahir, iTaleem is the new e-learning platform for IIUM students and staff, one that is in line with the National E-learning Policy (N.E.P.).
The N.E.P. requires that all public universities adopt a Web 2.0 enabled Learning Management System (LMS).
Some of the main features of i-Taleem include an online chat system, a forum, the ability to host online quizzes and assignments, and even Youtube, Dropbox, and Google Drive integration.
According to Professor Tahir, the i-Taleem trainers are ready to begin teaching the system to all IIUM Staff.
The i-Taleem clinics begin today and will last for the entire semester. Clinics are held every Monday and Thursday, from 11:30 AM to 1 PM, at the training room CPD.
Graduating Sociology Major, Shahidah Shaifuddin, commented that she wished the system had launched earlier as it would be easier for students to get access to learning materials this way
