Innovation for Exceptional Education

At VinUniversity, we are committed to delivering an exceptional educational experience through the implementation of innovative teaching methods that actively engage students, foster collaboration, and provide hands-on learning opportunities. Our approach is multifaceted, incorporating a range of strategies to cater to diverse learning styles and prepare our students for success in their chosen fields.

Through building these innovative teaching methods into our classes, VinUniversity provides a rich and engaging educational journey, equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and practical experiences necessary to thrive in their chosen careers and contribute positively to society.

Active Learning

We believe in the power of active learning, where students are encouraged to take an active role in the learning process and not sit back and listen to long lectures. Our classrooms are dynamic environments that promote interactive discussions, activities, student-led teaching sessions, and peer support. Educational technologies like polling, displaying students’ work on screens around the classroom, and are utilized to gauge understanding and facilitate real-time feedback, ensuring that no student is left behind.

Team-Based Learning (TBL)

Recognizing the importance of collaboration and teamwork in today’s professional landscape, we have embraced Team-Based Learning (TBL) in several courses. For instance, our Introduction to Data Visualization with Tableau, Physics, and Immunology courses are taught in TBL mode, allowing students to work together in teams, solve problems, and develop essential interpersonal skills.

Experiential Learning

At VinUniversity, we believe that real-world experiences are invaluable for learning. Our curriculum incorporates case-based teaching, internships, and field trips, enabling students to apply theoretical concepts to practical situations. In our health sciences programs, graduate medical doctor residents have the opportunity to work in hospitals, gaining hands-on experience in a clinical setting.

Simulation Center

Our state-of-the-art Simulation Center is a cutting-edge facility designed to enhance the learning experience for our health sciences students. This center features a simulated hospital environment, complete with high-tech equipment, sensors, and debriefing rooms. Students can practice clinical scenarios in a safe and controlled environment, developing essential skills and gaining valuable experience before working with real patients.

Blended Learning

We have seamlessly integrated technology into our teaching methodologies through the use of our learning management system, Canvas. Students benefit from a blended learning approach, receiving digital feedback from professors, engaging in multimedia video feedback on assignments, and utilizing innovative integrated tools such as Panopto, Flip, FeedbackFruits, Cerego, and Perusall. Additionally, peer feedback outside of the classroom is encouraged, fostering a collaborative learning environment.

Educational Technology

Embracing the latest advancements in educational technology, VinUniversity incorporates digital assessments, virtual reality using the latest Quest 3 headsets, and the ethical use of generative AI into our curriculum. These cutting-edge tools not only enhance the learning experience but also prepare our students for the rapidly changing technological demands of the modern workforce.
