Technology-Enhanced Learning in the New Curriculum: Out-of-Class Activities and Ideas

Abstract

This session aims at presenting various out-of-class learning activities and ideas, and discussing the needs, opportunities and challenges in implementing technology-enhanced learning in the new curriculum. Miranda will show some activities currently being developed for GUE on Moodle. Lillian will demonstrate an online independent learning program that enhances students’ awareness of their language learning styles, helps them to make study plans and identify out-of-class learning resources. It can fit into the self-access module of GUE and various ED courses. Ken will talk about an online self-access and reflection platform which can be easily adapted and customised for various out-of-class learning activities in any discipline. Ashley will discuss the very urgent need to converge face to face and online learning in the CAES context; the challenges, pitfalls and lessons learned from creating a blended learning model in a similar EAP context.
