Our purpose

A Mobile and Open learning and networking platform for Science and Engineering

This website has been developed as part of a UK-China-BRI Education Partnership Initiative “A Mobile and Open learning and networking platform for Science and Engineering” funded by the British Council. The project is a collaboration between the University of Portsmouth, UK, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, and Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam.

The purpose of this website is to provide an alternative microlearning and mobile-accessible syllabus to enhance and enrich the learning experience for students learning essential research skills in Science and Engineering.

The research team will be focussing on how learner-focused micro-learning improves student engagement and learning outcomes in higher education. The research will explore academic, cognitive, emotional, and psychological engagement.
