On 30 October, Prof. Johan Geertsema, Director of Centre for Development of Teaching and Learning of National University of Singapore, gave a presentation entitled “Technology for Teaching”. The event attracted over 60 academic staff members.

During his talk, Prof. Geertsema explored with the audience a crucial question of why we use technology for teaching: teachers need to think about pedagogical reasons behind using technology and incorporating it into teaching for students’ learning. He also indicated the goal of designing a teaching ecology that could better engage students in acquiring learning skills and content knowledge.

In addition, importance of course content was highlighted when the speaker initiated some intense discussion on how our academic staff could work to develop student understanding and identify technology that could enhance teaching.

10月30日，教與學優化中心邀請了新加坡國立大學教學發展中心主任Johan Geertsema教授到澳大，以“科技的教學”為題進行演講，吸引了60多名學術人員出席。

在演講中，Geertsema教授向澳大同事們探討了使用科技教學的關鍵問題：教師需要考慮使用科技的教學目的，並將其納入教學中以供學生學習。他還指出了設計教學生態的目標，就是可以使學生更好地學習技能和知識。

他還就如何增進學生的理解、增強教學的科技等改進教學的議題，引起同事們熱烈討論，並強調課程內容的重要性。
