Technology, Research and Innovation Services (TRI)
Under Technology, Research and Innovation Services (TRI), InTeLLeCT serves to identify and scout for best practices and contemporary uses of technology, "glocalising" them for the Taylor's teaching and learning community through action research and feasibility studies. TRI's key role is to innovate, create and explore new interpretations of pedagogy for campus-wide consumption. Some of TRI's key initiatives are listed as follows:
| • | Teaching and Learning Festival |
| This annual festival showcases people and ideas in the Taylor's academic community. The aim is to provide an informal atmosphere and platform for academics to share their creative approaches to teaching and learning. The festive mood of the occasion is expected to bring forth a sharing of creativity and learning. | |
 |
|
| • | Technology-embedded projects |
| Such projects are instrumental in embedding technology innovatively in the teaching process and thus enhance the quality of teaching and learning at Taylor's. Encouragement and incentives are given to pilot projects undertaken by individual academics to embed new and creative technology in their teaching projects. |
|
| • | Teaching and Learning Journal (JIRE) |
| The Journal of Interdisciplinary Research in Education (JIRE) is our international journal which aims to enhance theory, research and practice in teaching and learning through the publishing of papers in the field. JIRE's focus is on scholarly and innovative teaching practices and research by the Taylor's academic community. |

|
| • | Research clusters for Teaching and Learning |
| The focus of such research clusters are on organizing, consolidating and promoting teaching and learning related research aimed at localizing best practices in the area and disseminating such information through scholarly activities. |

In short TRI aims to equip academics to become renowned for their teaching excellence by supporting them with timely pedagogical research findings, technological innovations and promoting "global best practices" in teaching and learning by adopting, innovating, and implementing these approaches in a localized context.
