Your Learning Experience in our Part-time Quantum Degree®
Every week, there'll be a new topic on our Learning Portal. Lecture videos, quizzes and hands-on assignments are available to you, so you can learn anywhere, anytime.
Also known as Saturdays with Xinch, you'll log on to a live Skype-like sessions with your classmates, where Xinch will review important concepts for the week and answer any questions that you may have.
Learning happens best when there is a community and some guidance. You will not be learning all alone! Through our online community, you will be able to chat with mentors and fellow classmates, have discussions, as well as help each other out.
Here's what you can expect:
1. Lessons on the Learning Portal
You will learn by accessing weekly lectures via our learning portal. Unlike typical 2-hour long lectures, our lectures are in the form of bite-sized videos to help maximize knowledge absorbtion and maintain your attention. There will also be short quizzes to test your understanding.
2. Hands-on Assignments
We believe in hands-on learning. There will be weekly assignments that you'll need to complete before the submission deadline, and you will receive personalized feedback by the mentors.
3. Weekly Live Sessions with the Instructor
Tune in to designated live conference meetings with your fellow classmates and instructor. The instructor will review the week's lessons and assignments, and you can ask questions as well as discuss key concepts.
4. Discussions with Your Peers
Our online community portal gives you the chance to mingle with your peers. You won't be learning alone, and you'll definitely make new friends.
Nope, this course offers more than just any other online courses.
This course progresses on a weekly basis, you will be required to follow through and learn the topics weekly by watching the lectures, and completing assignments by the end of the week. Your assignments will then be reviewed by the instructor on how you may improve your work and if there are any gaps in your understanding.
Apart from that, there are also live conference calls (what we call 'Saturdays with Xinch') and online community portal where you get the chance to interact with the instructor and your peers.
Unlike online courses where you learn by yourself, you will get an immersive experience as you progress through the course.
To get real world experience in digital marketing, we encourage students to launch their own campaigns on various platforms like Google Adwords, Google Display Network, Facebook and Instagram Ads. When you run live campaigns, besides getting a better feel of how these platforms work, you'll also gain experience on analysing and optimising your campaigns. The amount spent on these platforms will be entirely dependent on your budget, and you can go as low as RM5/day for your campaign duration.
We also understand that some students may feel uncomfortable with spending money to run live campaigns on these platforms, so it is optional (though we really encourage you to run live campaigns to get the most out of the course).
You will be notified by our course coordinator on the details of the Saturday sessions. The Saturday sessions will be held online via a conference call (with video), so you'll be able to join in from anywhere. Just make sure you're at a location with good internet connection.
Saturday sessions are recorded and uploaded so you will be able to view it later.
In the Saturday sessions, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss with the instructor. With that said, you may also message instructors on the online community portal at anytime.
All our courses are HRDF (Human Resources Development Fund) approved, employees working for companies registered under the scheme will be able to upskill without the need of funding their own education.
