Editor's Notes
- Good morning lady and gentlemen My name is Hieu Thieu, Marketing Manager of Thai Nguyen University Learning Resource Center. I am in charge of all marketing activities to help promote our brand name, products and services. It is my honor to have an opportunity to introduce my University and its Learning Resource Center in this conference. As you may know, TNU was included in the list of first Vietnamese Universities participating in Vietnam OCW project. However, there has been a very few activities implemented to introduce and promote OCW. There are only few faculty members and students at TNU being aware of the usefulness of OCW. There are some reasons for this limitation. However, Today I am not going to talk about this. Instead, I would like to talk about the future, to give you an insight into my LRC and discuss what we can do together to take adantage of OCW to advance our educational quality and make it free availabe every time for every one from every where. Thai Nguyen University Learning Resource Center
- First, I would like to give you a brief introduction about TNU. TNU was established in 1994 based on the reorganization of a number of universities in Thai Nguyen province. It was founded as a part of the new development plan for higher education reform. TNU is known as one of the three regional universities in Vietnam, and it is the central hub for training, scientific research and technology transferring in the NMA of Vietnam Thai Nguyen University Learning Resource Center
- TNU consists of 9 member college and schools. They are College of education College of Science College of Agriculture and Forestry College of Industry and Technology School of Economics and Technology College of Economics and Business Administration College of Medicine and Pharmacy Faculty of Foreign Language Faculty of IT ( will be promoted to be college of Information and Telecommunication Technology at the end of this year) In term of human resource, TNU has 90 full and associate professors, 250 doctors and 800 masters TNU offers many different kinds of training program ranging from undergraduate to PhD level. Currently it has 115 undergraduate program, 39 master program and 24 PhD program. TNU’s total student is about 78000 including 73 000 undergraduates, 60% of them are full-time students, 5000 graduate and PhD candidates Thai Nguyen University Learning Resource Center
- Learning Resource Center is the central library and information center of TNU. The center has been playing an increasingly important role in assisting TNU to achieve its goals and missions. There is no doubt that OCW can bring great benefits to everyone in a university no matter who she/he is: administrator, instructors or student…The question is who should be the focal coordinator to connect all people for building, maintaining and updating OCW? We believe that university’s central library and information center should take this role. Why? I hope that the answer will come clearly after I introduce my LRC Thai Nguyen University Learning Resource Center
- TNU LRC is one of 4 LRCs that forms that Vietnam LRC network spreading from the North to the South. They are: Thai Nguyen LRC, Hue LRC, Da Nang LRC, Can Tho LRC. There LRCs were built thanks to financial supports from AP. Each LRC is a new modern, American style of library & information center with the missions are..
