Deal signed to enhance online education

A new partnership has been announced by the American University in Dubai(AUD) and the Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation (AGF) to enhance online and hybrid learning, strengthening access to quality education for graduate students and professionals.

- 

The initiative focuses on upgrading digital learning infrastructure, expanding faculty development, and enhancing staff resources to support high-quality flexible learning experiences. Building on AUD’s existing hybrid learning infrastructure, the collaboration will support the expansion of Hyflex classrooms and the development of two media suites.

These advancements will allow graduate-level courses to transition into a hybrid/HyFlex model, providing more accessible and flexible learning opportunities. Initially, the initiative will focus on programmes within AUD's Schools of Business, Engineering and Architecture, Art and Design, with the addition of micro-credential offerings to equip professional learners with in-demand skills.
