What our partners say
"Block Model mode is becoming a world’s best practice, for new generation of learners. It makes learning interesting and focus on active learning, through: Close two-way communications and interactions with lecturers, timely and impactful feedback, clear and high expectations, and a collaborative spirit between students and lecturers. That is why at Sunway College VU, we have brought in this revolutionary and effective Block Model of Learning to benefit the learners in Malaysia."

"In our move to a block learning model, the support, encouragement, and openness of VU colleagues, in sharing the VU Block model and work across their first-year college provided us with reassurance, technical insights and overwhelming reflections of success for a better learning experience for students and staff alike."

"When De Montfort University first began to explore block teaching, we quickly became aware of the work led by Victoria. We transformed our curriculum at a rapid pace and collaborated closely with our colleagues at Victoria who helped us to discover the art of what is possible. If we ever identified a barrier, we were able to work with them to identify ways to overcome it. Through the collaborative and supportive relationships we have built, there is no doubt that we have established a lasting network of good practice."
