Resources for Tutors

One of the aims of hosting the material on the NUA campus is that academic institutions globally can tap into already developed material and embed such material into existing courses. As a Tutor, you may use either part of or an entire course hosted on the NUA campus. This would give the students a different perspective of the knowledge developed across various geographies.

Many courses on the platform offer a course completion certificate; as a tutor, you may include this certificate as a requisite for students in completing a course that you teach at your institution. You may also include some aspects from the NUA campus in your course, such as the course assignments or reading lists.

Tutors also can ask their students to complete a certain course on the NUA campus during their self-study hours i.e. non-tutoring hours.

Currently, the NUA campus offers courses. Each course comprises lessons, quizzes, assignments and additional material (reading lists and additional videos). Most of the courses are structured as video lectures or webinars.

While each course may look like an inseparable unit, they are very modular. A completely new course can be structured from existing courses, as the lessons can be reused in different courses if they are relevant. The same goes for the assignments and quizzes.

Our current lesson catalogue has about 240 lessons on various topics of sustainable and electric mobility. We are constantly adding content through new projects and contributions from partner organisations, universities, and tutors.

Below is a sample course that shows what a course on the NUA campus will look like. The material displayed in this course is the actual content used on the website. The lessons can be reused in other courses with adaptations as necessary. Courses can also be in different languages, and they will be displayed in a similar format. Feel free to explore.

This is a static list and needs manual updating. The actual number of lessons can be more than this list.

Courses on the NUA Campus have varied durations depending on the topic. We are trying to streamline the courses so that new courses are at least 30 hours long. This means that the student’s total effort includes lecture time, in-course assessments, assignments, and additional reading.

As courses are structured in a modular way, you may choose to include the entire course or only a part of the course in your curriculum if you embed the material.

If you have any recorded videos that you use for your lectures and wish to share them with a global audience, you are more than welcome to contribute your videos to the NUA Campus. You discuss with the NUA Campus team and develop a new course that could either be made entirely with your content or be a mix of both existing material and your content.

All the material hosted on the NUA Campus is free to share, such as a CreativeCommons license. If you are using the content, an attribution must be given to the project responsible for creating the content.

On the NUA Campus, we require users to register. Registration is at no cost. The registration helps us to gather insights on how the material is being used and can provide valuable feedback to the projects that produced the material.

We can also distinguish between a tutor and a course taker through registration. Tutors can have special access rights, which is possible only through registration.

With registration, we can also monitor the progress of the course takers and grant certificates, which is useful to you as a tutor.

The NUA Campus does not request any monetary contribution towards using the material. You can use the material in a course in a degree or a similar program that requires tuition fees. Such a transaction is between the university or a certifying institution and the course taker.

All the material that is currently provided on the NUA Campus is in English. While we acknowledge the need for material in other languages, especially Spanish and French. We are also working with partner universities in these regions to develop material in these languages. If you have material that you are willing to share then we are glad to discuss the options.

As we have registration on the platform, your students can register on the NUA campus using their university or school’s email address. Once the student has enrolled, we can give you the details of each of the student’s progress upon request. For courses where you are an instructor, i.e. a course curated by you, you can be added as an instructor to the website, and you can monitor the progress of your students and also see the interest from other students who take your course.

As mentioned before, all the material provided on the NUA Campus is a result of funded projects. This means that the project already pays for the costs of producing the material.

Any material produced from a non-project activity is considered a contribution to the NUA Campus, and we cannot reimburse the cost of making such material. Nevertheless, if you have any ideas for developing courses, then please get in touch with us, and we can find an amicable way.
