               Use of ICT in Teaching and
                        Learning
•     College looks into what it means to be
      student-centric and self-regulator

•     As a College, we create an environment
      and inculcate the strategies of self-
      regulation into our students when young :
         ❖ Fore-thought, plan
         ❖ Manage own performance
         ❖ Self-Reflect
