INTRODUCTION

The Academic Enhancement and Leadership Development Centre (ADeC) is a Centre of

Responsibility or Pusat Tanggungjawab (PTj) under the portfolio of the Deputy Vice-
Chancellor (Academic & International), University of Malaya. ADeC’s core responsibility is to
design and conduct professional development programs for UM’s academic staff.
ADeC's rebranding reflects the centre's then expanded role, from solely providing training on
teaching and learning (T&L) towards producing future renowned and highly competent
academic leaders in T&L, research and supervision.

The UM Learning Improvement and Teaching

Enhancement Research (UM-LiTeR) aims to provide UM
lecturers with funding to conduct research on improving
and enhancing Learning and Teaching practices in their
own classrooms, courses, and/or programs.

UM-LiTeR aims not only to provide research funding and

mentorship, but also to facilitate connections amongst UM
lecturers who are passionate about T&L, and to invite you
to be part of a community of practice in which members
support one another in their shared quest to offer effective
and meaningful T&L experiences to our students.
