Teaching Innovation
- Innovation is needed when current practices cannot solve the problems. Most of the problems arise because we still maintain the same practices. So the best way to overcome the problem is to create new practices by innovating them.
Most of my courses are related to programming where it requires students to complete a series of lab programming sessions. Conducting a face to face supervision in a computer lab will create some constraints and difficulties as the following:
- Computer lab space is limited,
- Over-the-shoulder review to each student workstation within a limited space create inconvenient environment especially related to gender sensitivity or health risks (COVID19)
- not enough time to entertain all students from one to one workstation
- wasting other students’ time when solving a student problem at his machine only
- Hard to do recording of previous lab activity
Traditional teaching method such as conventional lecture, project, classroom discussion also tends to be boring and obsolete. Learning should now be flexible anywhere and anytime.
In order to solve these problems, many NEW ONLINE SYSTEMS were developed and CREATIVE APPROACHES were adapted to ensure the teaching and learning process become more effective and efficient.
