New Academia Learning Innovation was first ideated and written in the book titled New Academia in 2012 to document UTM’s committment towards forming new thinking, philosophy, and higher education framework through new pedagogy that can nurture students to be competitive at international level. From this mindset, UTM set to develop the New Academia Learning Innovation, NALI Framework that proposed the integration of technologies in innovative teaching and learning methods.
