Event Highlights
To kickstart the new semester for the 2024-25 academic year, the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) organised a series of teaching and learning seminars under the theme “Teaching Excellence in the New Semester: Refresh, Recharge and Renew’’ on 16, 19 and 28 August 2024. These seminars were designed for both current and new academic teaching staff members to rejuvenate their teaching practices, exchange best practices, and introduce innovative approaches to enhance student learning and equip them with effective instructional strategies for the new academic year. The seminar topics included metaverse and generative AI in education, authentic assessments, and innovative experiential and problem-based learning.
