Murdoch-Kaplan Learning and Teaching Symposium 2022

Date: Friday, November 25, 2022

Time: 2 pm to 5.40 pm online

Theme: Blended Learning

The COVID-19 pandemic was a perfect storm that made higher education institutions (HEIs) rethink their teaching and learning strategies and practices.

Ensuring that university degrees remain relevant will be one of the most significant challenges HEIs have to face in the post-Covid era.

There appears to be an emerging consensus that the future of higher education may involve blended learning.

Blended or hybrid learning is typically defined as a method of teaching that integrates technology and digital media with traditional instructor-led classroom activities. It comes in many shapes or forms.

In this fifth Murdoch University – Kaplan Singapore Symposium, which is conducted online, we explore topics such as:

• Synchronous and asynchronous online learning

• What is the right ‘blend’?

• What will good teaching & learning practices look like post-Covid?

• What does being student-centric mean? How do we best support students in a blended learning environment?

• What are some helpful educational technologies in blended learning?

• Do we need to rethink assessments? Are exams still relevant?

• Will there be an increase in academic integrity challenges, and how can we counter them?

• What lessons have we learned about student mental health during the pandemic? What is the right approach to supporting Student wellbeing?
