Flipped Classroom on Openlearning




This is my first open online course and I chose to offer the course on something that I strongly advocate — flipped classroom. I have started using flipped classroom approach in small scale last year and next semester I plan to dive more into this.

I would like to invite readers of my blog to join the course and learn more about flipped classroom.

The mass university is good for equity, but must it also be bad for learning?

The mass university is good for equity, but must it also be bad for learning? Hannah Forsyth , Australian Catholic University When universities began expanding, they became more inclusive. While this is a good thing, scholars often look at their large class sizes and lament that many of the students won’t set foot in the lecture theatres or libraries thanks to technology, and grow increasingly frustrated at the shallow assignment responses. They ask: whatever happened to learning ? Is there still a place for old-style, face-to-face education, good clear thinking and real, tangible books? Students: responsible for their own learning?

Reflection of My Journey in 2015

Everyone is reflecting...Me? Well, 2015 has been an interesting year. Interesting indeed! I always enjoy being in the circle of academics and work together with them. They are all great people...some with their ego  😊 . The academic world is always very exciting. Every day is different. There's no dull moment. No routine. We don't make much money like those people in the business world (but good if the government would revise our salary scheme hi hi). We pride ourselves to take on the responsibility to nurture the future nation builders. We are shaping the young mind that would become the potential leaders of the future.

My course, Essential Digital Tools for Student Engagement on Udemy. Finally, after 2 weeks of toiling with recording and editing, my first ever course, Essential Digital Tools for Student Engagement , is published on Udemy platform. Well, actually not quite the first ever course! I had published one course on Udemy (iPad for Teaching and Learning) a few years ago when Udemy is still in its infancy. The course was made available free. Udemy platform has grown and evolved by leaps and bounds. I have been watching and following Udemy while exploring other platforms offering skill-based courses such as Skillshare and Lynda.com . I’m a big fan of all the three platforms. I have always dream to publish a paid course on Udemy and Skillshare. Now I have realised the dream! It’s a dream come true. This is the era where almost anyone can teach and share the skill and knowledge with the global audience. I urge the readers of my blog to consider offering a course on Udemy and other online pla...
