The primary purpose of UMLIC (University of Malaya Learning Improvement Center) is to design, develop and produce materials and activities intended to address learning or performance requirements of a given audience. As an instructional systems design and development centre UMLIC will contribute to the development of the University of Malaya through the design and development of learning innovation and improvement at the local, regional and international levels (UMLIC’s concept paper, 1995).
A task was given to UMLIC, on 5 January 2006 by the university management to enable UM to meet the Ministry of Higher Education mandate.
