  1. Student Learning Time (SLT) • Effective learning time or student effort in learning or the learning volume (a quantitative measurement of all learning activities), in order to achieve the specified learning outcomes; • Inclusive all learning time components (learning activities), i.e. formal and non-formal. Total time required by student to learn a particular component of curriculum; i.e. Official Contact Time + Guided Learning Time + Self Study Time (Independent learning) + Assessment Time. • Synonymous to student’s academic load, e.g. credit hours; subjects; modules; etc. Prof Zainai’s slide

  2. Effective learning time or Student Academic Load (SAL) or Learning volume can be seen from different angles : About 8 hours/day; 40 working hours/week; or 670 hours/14 weeks, Nominal of 15 – 16 credits per semester Maximum 18 – 22 credits per semester (VERY HEAVY) and needs approval from dean. 1 credit = 40 SLT (per semester) Appropriate allocation of SLT reflects in the quality of student’s achievement. Prof Zainai’s slide

  3. Management instrument for both the quided and independent learning, • Component of time management – SLT promotes ethics and discipline in student’s effort towards learning, • Enhancing the skills of “life-long-learning” • An indicator of effort in learning and study smart, • Educate on how the “learning by doing” in respect to effort in learning I.e. student-centred output-oriented approach, • Effective control of prescribed study duration. • >>SLT is an effective time management tool • Prof Zainai’s slide

  4. NOTIONAL CREDIT HOUR : MQF Credit System • The Notional credit hours define ONE CREDIT. • A preliminary survey of the total learning hours required of a student to achieve the LOs in specific disciplines indicate that 40 hours would be the most appropriate student load to use as equivalent to ONE CREDIT.

  5. The following guideline has been proposed for use in estimating SLT which makes up the CAL :Guideline for estimating SLT & CAL ( COURSE ACADEMIC LOAD)
