In response to changing learning needs and suspension of face-to-face classes teachers are asked to make adaptations to their teaching and blended mode seems to be a way to go. In this half-day event, we will gather experts across regions and disciplines to share insights and experiences on blended teaching and learning. Speakers will also share the pedagogical strategies and designs well as student feedback of their blended courses.
Target participants: Members of Faculty Learning Community on Blended Learning and UM academic staff who are interested or intended to incorporate the blended mode into their teaching, particularly in the planning and production of micro-modules.

9:15 – 9:30 Opening Remarks by VRAA Prof. Michael King-Man HUI
9:30 – 10:30 Concurrent Presentations
Blended Learning Development and Trends by Prof. Irwin King, CUHK
Blended learning is a pedagogy that combines traditional classroom learning with online education resources and technology. In this presentation, I will share some recent developments and promising trends in blended learning. Furthermore, I plan to highlight two excellent examples by Prof. Sidharth Jaggi and Prof. Darwin Lau from CUHK’s Engineering Faculty on using different technologies for enhancing teaching and learning. Moreover, with the current pandemic situation, I intend to illustrate how blended learning not only supports the change of teaching and learning needs by reducing physical attendance, but also strengthens the interactions and efficiencies between teachers and students through technology in times of crisis.

Blended learning ABC: Approach, Benefits, Credibility by Prof. Julia Chen, PolyU
Blended learning has become an umbrella term with multiple definitions that encompass pedagogic approaches, technology-enhanced active learning, diverse instructional methods, and convergence across the curriculum. But what is a blended learning approach? What can be blended? How and why? And how do we know that blended works? With teaching and research examples from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, this keynote discusses the purposes of blended learning for the student, the teacher and the institution; some of the conceptualizations and designs of onsite-online mix to achieve desirable blends; and methods to evaluate blended learning and its impact on the learner.

Technology for Teaching
Date: 30 Oct. (Wed.)
Time: 12:15 -1:30 pm
Venue: E3-1032
Speaker: Johan Geertsema (Director of the Centre for Development of Teaching and Learning at the National University of Singapore)

Bio:
Johan Geertsema is the Director of the Centre for Development of Teaching and Learning at the National University of Singapore and an Associate Professor in the University Scholars Programme, where he teaching in the Writing and Critical Thinking programme. His research focuses on questions of values in higher education, with specific reference to the professional learning of academics; academic identities; and teaching expertise.

Abstract:
What’s the point of using technology for teaching? While universities spend billions on educational technology, there is often little evidence that it actually increases student learning (Cuban, 2001; Nilson, 2014). Nevertheless, as university teachers in a world being rapidly transformed by technology, we can ill afford to ignore it. In addition, when used appropriately both inside and beyond the classroom, it has the potential of improving learning by engaging students and enhancing interaction. In this workshop we will focus not only on how best to use technology for teaching, but even more importantly, why to do so.

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.

Student Panel
Student representatives will exchange their ideas and experience on what student engagement means to them. They will also share their thoughts on what kind of in-class activities and material (digital or no) help them learn better in their discipline.

Technology Session on Moodle
Find out how Moodle and Rain Classroom are being used by colleagues at UM. In this session the new, key and advanced features of Moodle will be introduced in hands-on demonstrations. Features such as attendance, messaging, and completion tracking can be used to help nudge students towards success.

Technology Session on Rain Classroom
This session will introduce key features of Rain Classroom (RC) that are particularly applicable to UM setting — random roll-call, quizzes, polls, Danmu. The speaker will also provide discipline-specific examples.

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
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.
