Recap: CTLE professional development online event:
‘Fostering Collaboration in an EMI Classroom’
On 23 February, CTLE held an online professional development event , entitled ‘Fostering Collaboration in an EMI Classroom’. The event attracted nearly 60 academic staff members from UM.
Prof. Dr. Sascha Schanze from Leibniz University Hannover gave a keynote presentation on how collaborative learning would promote individual learning. He began with learning as conceptual development and talked about research on peer interaction method and instructional support in collaborative learning settings. He also shared some of the implications of practices such as think-pair-share, placemat activity and jigsaw puzzle. (Download slides) (Watch video)
In the panel discussion ‘Strategies to enhance students’ experience in collaborative learning’, moderated by Prof. Katrine Wong, Director of CTLE, panelists from different faculties shared examples of collaborative learning projects and practices. The discussion highlighted the importance of allowing individual students to contribute and thereby giving each student an opportunity to pitch in during the learning process. As teachers, not only do we need to deliver content knowledge, we need to, more crucially, provide guidance for our students as they construct their own knowledge. Prof. Manuela Carvalho (FAH), Prof. Glenn McCartney (FBA), Prof. Frank Gong (FED), Prof. Garry Wong (FHS) and Ms. Miranda ma (FAH-ELC) joined the panel discussion. (Watch video)
In the teaching technology session, Dr. Chris Fulton (CTLE) introduced UMMoodle tools such as team builder and peer assessment, which can be used to enhance team-based and collaborative learning. More information could be found in our T&L blog.
