eLearning Process Development in a Nutshell
How to boost student engagement and interactivity
COVID-19 Talks
Dr. Loretta O'Donnell gives a presentation on the challenges the university has faced during the pandemic and illustrates how our university coped with it then. This video has been added to the University Alliance of the Silk Road webpage as part of NU's contribution to it.
ONLINE ASSESSMENT - ZOOM WORKSHOP
We would like to invite you to revisit this video every time you need to refresh concepts on online assessment. This workshop has been delivered by the Innovative Learning Officer and our Academic Quality Senior manager.
Interviews
Introduction to Ethics - Highlights Reel
We have successfully transformed the course Introduction to Ethics, which helped faculty deliver the content in a blended way to over 300 students across several cohorts. Over 44 episodes and more than 440 minutes of tailor made content was made available to facilitate student-centred learning. We would like to invite you to have a look at how the course conversion process takes place.
"Research Talks" - Ep1 - Veronika Dashkova
Our PhD Program started a series of interviews with our PhD Candidates and peers. The series is devoted to the Scientific Method (SC) and intends to show and share the work of our young researchers in the framework of the SC (video-captions in English-Russian-Spanish.)
This first episode was recorded at Nazarbayev University (Kazakhstan) before the restriction to limited physical-distance due to COVID-19. As part of its Innovative Learning strategy, NU gives full support to our online Teaching & Learning initiatives.

The Console
Financial Modelling - Blended Course Transformation - Introduction Video.
Based on a script of the revival of a trading house, video characters interact with student participants and weave a pattern through this course. The main AV components consist of:
- a representative of a distant organization called ‘the Forge’, who steers the progress remotely;
- the ‘Doc’, a more practical figure and confidante who interacts locally with participants;
WE GO TO MARS - Episode 2
The project tackled Mars exploration and the potential contribution of the Chemical Engineering Department. The videos were intended for a target audience composed by laymen and non-specialists.
Introduction to Ethics - The Making Of
We know that course transformations are hard work. If the highlights video shown above did not motivate you to give it a try, perhaps it will help if you listen to our faculty sharing their journey with you. Check it out!
