TED's Main Tasks

| • | New Academic Staff Integration (NASI) Program – NASI was designed to assist newly hired academic staff in their integration in the new learning environment. The initiative provides the significant dimensions of Taylor's total learning experience. The NASI training modules help the new academic staff to journey from Taylor's teaching and learning philosophy and framework to Taylor's graduate capability components. |
