- Innovating teaching activities is a key task of VNU in general and VNU-UET in particular. In 2019, VNU-UET has developed a Teaching Innovation Plan for the period of 2019-2025 and has implemented many innovative activities in the field of training including enrollment, training programs, teaching and learning activities, and learning materials…
Students have done online exercises of the basic coding modules, papers were automatically graded, thereby helping to enhance the ability of self-study, increasing regular assessment with students. The other modules in this group have video lectures and equipment modules to help students practise better.Regarding Basic Informatics Module 1, the VNU-UET has built an online learning module on the basis of the subject website. For the coding team led by the Faculty of Information Technology (Basic IT 4, Advanced Programming), last year there were 800 K62 students using the software on website: http://uetcodehub.com with the number of visits is about 90,000/ each semester, the number of exams per semester is about 300,000, an average of 2 exercises per student per day. Regarding the 4th Basic Informatics course, students do about 200 exercises on the system.Most of the modules in the training program are taught in the traditional way with the support of technology such as the subject website, equipments, laboratories, etc.
Teachers and students are initially interested in the subject website and a new educational method – blended learning which combines traditional classroom and online learning, such as group of coding subjects of FIT.Besides, the VNU-UET uses DoIt software to support learners to check and complete thesis, dissertation and thesis; source code copy-protection software is used in programming subjects.
- The capacity for scientific research and technology transfer continues to be confirmed:
(1) attracted many research projects with a total budget of VND 63 billion; (2) published 243 articles including 80 articles in the ISI and SCOPUS; (3) Intellectual property activity has developed strongly: there are 3 patents and 12 intellectual property registration applications accepted; (4) Policies to support international publication, intellectual property registration and laboratory development continue to be effectively implemented; (5) Many science and technology products are transferred and well-received.
