The Arc sets sail as a new flagship building of the NTU Smart Campus

Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has launched a new learning hub, a major piece in its transformation from the traditional big lectures, to its modern, interactive flipped classroom pedagogy.

Named The Arc, NTU’s new learning hub is equipped with the latest technologies to support the flipped classroom pedagogy. Students learn the course content online before class and the face time with professors and classmates is devoted to collaborative learning.

NTU has done away with traditional classroom layouts in designing The Arc, which boasts flowing lines and energy-friendly fittings.

NTU President Professor Subra Suresh said, “The Arc is one of the key pieces in NTU’s flipped classroom transformation. This model of learning will prepare students with the necessary skills to excel in jobs which may not even exist today.”
