What We Do
EDI is a unique department that fulfils a dual role within the School of Education and Sunway University. We are dedicated to supporting the continuous professional development of our academic staff. Through a variety of activities, we equip our faculty with the latest pedagogical knowledge and skills. This, in turn, empowers them to foster superior learning experiences for our students. EDI's commitment extends beyond workshops and training. We also offer academic programs, acting as a catalyst for fostering excellence in both teaching and learning within and beyond the University.
Our Vision
We seek to provide a conducive, supportive and inclusive learning environment for Sunway University students to achieve success in their studies.
Our Mission
We support and develop academics' skills and knowledge in pedagogy and nurture their life-long learning skills so that they stay relevant, innovative and effective as educators.
Continuing Professional Development for Academic Staff
We offer a range of training and development programmes, including tailored programmes, to suit a range of academic staff - from early career academics to those seeking to enhance their current teaching practices. We believe that this will help academics enhance their teaching skills, broaden their knowledge base and stay abreast of the latest pedagogical advancements in their fields.
