Session Description:
Keynote: Learner-Centred Education @UM
This presentation will pose two questions: First, what is Learner-Centred Education and, more importantly, what is not? Second, does Learner-Centred Education matter in the context of UM? Prof. Billy So will use a Learner-Centred approach to engage participants of the workshop through a process of exploration of these two questions. It is hoped that the keynote will generate reflection upon and curiosity about the way we educate our students and what more we may be able to do at UM.
Faculty Panel
Representatives from Faculties/Institutes, RC, SAO and ICTO will exchange their ideas and experience on what student engagement and student success mean. They will also share their thoughts on how to conduct effective group-work both inside and outside of classroom.
