Moving Forward

Posted on May 23, 2021 by KHO Su Yian

All too soon, I feel, the course has come to an end. I’m afraid I was not at my best in the last few weeks, as I suffered a tragedy in the family, and am still recovering from it. For this, I apologise to my team PBL08, for my absences and subpar performance. I mustContinue reading “Moving Forward”

The Future is Blended

Posted on May 9, 2021 by KHO Su Yian

While I like blended learning because the learning environment and tools can be expanded to accommodate different types of learners with different schedules, paces of learning and communication preferences, I personally do not enjoy hybrid classes.

Just being able to read and write in one language is no longer sufficient in today’s society and workplace. Today it’s widely acknowledged that there are multiple literacies and literacies are not necessarily universal, but contextual toContinue reading “Digital Literacy(ies?)”

Microlearning

Posted on February 25, 2021 by KHO Su Yian

I am currently interested in the concept of microlearning. We are all strapped for time nowadays, and Zoom fatigue has probably overwhelmed students and educators alike. Asynchronous learning that is short, but still impactful and active, might be a good option for busy people who can’t carve out 2 hours of their day for aContinue reading “Microlearning”
