Facilitating our students to achieve higher levels of learning

Technologies nowadays have transformed our lives in every aspect. The pandemic drove us towards the adoption of flexible online teaching. This includes the use of online lectures, online assessments, and other digital means. But how can we use them more effectively? How can we maximize the benefits of both online and face-to-face to help our students achieve higher levels of learning?

The workshops will address the above questions using the principles of Blended Learning (BL) and plenty of design scenarios. As part of this approach, you will also learn different ways of developing effective instructional videos.
