Abstract:
In the age of Big Data, legal education in Macao faces both opportunities and challenges of computerization. What matters now is how law students can think like lawyers, with professional skills and humanity feelings. Legal training is not only about passing on received knowledge, but also an engine to stimulate curiosity and critical thinking. From AI-possible to AI-ready, legal educators need to encourage students to be more concerned about the ‘hows and whys’ of law in the classroom.

Abstract:
As course instructors, we obviously want to see our learners make positive progress in their learning and, more importantly, enjoy the process. However, there are other determining factors of how and how well our learners learn. How can we better help our students learn and learn happily? There are different types of support available to all UM students; they include the provision of university-wide student support and guidance services as well as disciplinary study skills and academic and personal support provided in respective faculties and RCs. SAO counsellors, RC Associate Masters and Faculty Assistant Deans have been invited to share with us some of their experience of mentoring UM students. It is hoped that this workshop will bring faculty members clearer understanding of the types of support available to our students, which will in turn inform us how we can more effectively work with diverse range of academic performance.

Interactive Lecturing: Combining Lectures and Active Learning Methods
2019-02-27 14:30 - 15:45 | E3-1032, BOC Centennial Building, Taipa, Macau
Interactive Lecturing: Combining Lectures and Active Learning Methods
This workshop aims to demonstrate approaches to interactive lecturing, which involves combining lectures and active learning strategies. Prof. Wong will share adaptable classroom activities that may help address challenges instructors face in a learning environment with a mixture of students of different levels of language competency. Participants will experience, through working with two short excerpts from Macbeth, the difference between lecture and interactive lecturing.
Dr. De Chavez will share some of his experiences experimenting with interactive lecturing in his GE courses (including moments of unexpected success and disheartening frustration!). He will also speak about his thought process in designing a lesson on poetry writing that incorporates active learning activities in the conventional lecture. He hopes that his short talk will generate discussion about the promises and challenges of interactive lecturing.

Abstract:
The young man researching in the lab remains the resolute image of PhD research. Yet this iconography is misleading. Tara offers a new andragogy for doctoral education, one that creates a culture of success for the new cohorts within higher education and higher degrees. Her 4D model works through multimodal interfaces and offers a post-fordist and customized experience for students, while maintaining quality assurance and international standards.

Abstract:
The talk will start from current teaching situation of most classrooms in universities. Two trends, i.e. mobile internet and widespread of high quality learning materials, will prompt responsible instructors to shift from teacher-centered educational notion, which has the property of trying to provide clearer expositive teaching, to student-centered one, which is characterized by intensify perception of students’ understanding. The tools to help the shift will then be discussed. The attractive Massive Open Online Course Principles of Electric Circuits has more than 200k students from 160 countries and regions; and the toolkit Rain Classroom own more than 5M users now. With these tools and appropriate instructional design, flipped classroom with large number of students can be realized with reasonable time costs of instructors and students. The key factors and feedback will be elaborated.

Abstract:
This presentation Prof. Kift will explore how institutions might better support first year learning, success and retention. It will argue that intentional first year curriculum design sits at the heart of a positive FYE and enables whole-of-student, whole-of-institution approaches. In particular, it will suggest that, through the adoption of an integrative Transition Pedagogy (Kift, 2009; Kift, Nelson & Clark, 2010; Kift, 2015), first year success for all students, whatever their entering background or prior experience of learning, can be assured.

Why Innovations and Which Methods to Use?—-Finding the Innovated Methods for My Classes Prof. Tianshu ZHU (FSS)
Why do we need innovations for our teachings? And among so many innovated new pedagogical methods, what methods to choose for our classes? In this presentation, I will talk about the innovations I did in my classes in answering these questions. Although I teach a very particular field which is very different from others, hopefully these questions can be relevant to general audients.
Varied Excellences: Reflections on Teaching in a Technological World Prof. Man Yin CHIU (FAH)
One of the most important elements in teaching is engagement. Teaching material that is interesting and engaging is more effective. In this talk I will share an in-class activity that has worked quite well for me. Together we will engage with a short poem in English and try to work out its meaning.
Project-Based Teaching to Stimulate Students’ Passion on Learning Prof. Hui PAN (IAPME)
In my talk, a brief introduction of project-oriented teaching/learning will be given. It is believed that the learning should be focused around four main areas: critical thinking, teamwork, practical application, and positive attitude, which can be achieved through project-oriented teaching.
Catching Students’ Attention in the Digital Era Prof. Matthew LIU (FBA)
How long can you reasonably expect your students to pay attention during your lessons? Some psychologists claim the typical student’s attention span is about 10 to 15 minutes long, yet most university classes last 50 to 90 minutes. Teaching can be tough, but there a few easy and simple tricks that will grab your students attention.

Recent Trends in Higher Education: Impact on Learning and Teaching
2018-04-18 12:15 - 13:30 | E3-1032, BOC Centennial Building, Taipa, Macau
Abstract
The rapid change in the society has increased the expectations of higher education. Educational initiatives which are shaped by global phenomena are introduced to enhance the quality of teaching and learning experience. In this workshop, Dr. Tang will examine the outcome-based approach (OBA) in course design, technology-based learning activities, and initiatives beyond the curriculum with reference to an undergraduate teacher education programme in Hong Kong. Specifically, the development of learning outcomes, grade descriptors and rubrics for the implementation of the OBA to assessment, the design and rationale behind a professional online learning community, and the experiential learning activities to improve students’ competencies and global outlook will be exemplified.

*Refreshments will be provided for registered participants.
*An equivalent of 1 hour of professional development.
Abstract:

As educators search exhaustively for ways to make students more active and engaged in their own learning, self-assessment has emerged as a possible solution. In addition to enhancing student autonomy, agency, and metacognitive awareness of learning, it is a way to encourage critical thinking and responsibility—two major tenets of Active Learning, and traits that will serve students well in their lives after graduation. This talk will aim to conceptualize the effectiveness of self-assessment within the greater context of the English medium liberal arts university in East Asia, and present a practical approach to student assessment by examining data from CLIL-based classrooms.
