Supported by the International Relations Offices in both schools, this workshop was part of collaborations between the schools to develop Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) and Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) for the region.

Working with the Centre for Medical Education (CenMED), Mr Alvin Tan, Senior Manager, NUS Medicine from the Continuing Education and Training (CET) department, conducted the workshop from 29 to 30 August for over 50 faculty members from UGM’s Faculty of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing.

Over the two-day workshop, participants explored and experienced first-hand various education technologies including gamification, interactive video scenarios, e-learning authoring tools, VR/AR and even the metaverse. To enhance learner centricity, participants applied Design Thinking tools and the Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework to assess their teaching practices. The workshop cumulated with a showcase of participants’ digital learning projects developed during the hands-on practical session. The project showcase included e-learning courses, 360 camera and gamification and mobile video lecture.

The workshop helped participants to embrace technology in enhancing digital learning. We look forward to the next collaboration to inspire CET digital learning.
