The Portal -Why we do it

Beyond the limitations of online delivery and student exchange to offer a more flexible, meaningful, and globalised learning experience.

The Trans-space In Portal Pedagogy the ‘trans’ prefix expresses the

notion of open spaces, the deconstruction of barriers, and the bridging of gaps either disciplinary or geographic.
