THe new, technology-enabled Taylor’s College Sri Hartamas campus recently opened its doors to about 350 pre-university students, all enrolled in either the Cambridge A-Levels or South Australian Matriculation programme.
The contemporary furnishings, coupled with lots of open spaces, zesty colours and free wi-fi access seem to have scored points for the students who lauded the “high tech” study environment.
Students at the new Taylor’s College Sri Hartamas campus were in high spirits. “Today’s students are more attuned to technology. For this reason, we place greater emphasis on the use of ICT for teaching and learning here. Our teaching revolves around student-centred learning,” said Taylor’s College Sri Hartamas’ Cambridge A-Levels programme director Ananda Kumaresh.
“We integrate our teaching and learning framework with extensive use of technology,” said Cambridge A-Levels academic department head Hariandra Muthu.
“This means our students have easier access to our teaching resources. For example, lecture notes are given out in soft copy, revision lessons are offered in audio and video recordings, and downloads are enabled using Bluetooth — all made available on Blackboard 7, a web-based course management software,” he added.
Located close to Mont Kiara, Damansara and Kuala Lumpur, Taylor’s College Sri Hartamas offers time- and money-saving solutions for students who no longer need to travel to Subang Jaya, Selangor, for their pre-university education.
“Besides, this new campus is much nearer to my house, so I managed to convince my dad to let me study here.”
