Not a 50-50: Blended learning
With the recent disruptions to face-to-face classes, the significance of blended learning as an instructional approach has gained increased emphasis across all ages of students, including even adults. It is an approach that combines online interactions with traditional place-based classroom methods. A/P Shanti Divaharan is an Associate Professor of Learning Sciences and Assessment at the National Institute of Education (NIE) who has much experience in the area of augmenting technology-integrated teaching practices. This session promises to be an eye-opening one that will empower educators with useful knowledge on the essential elements of effective blended learning.
Panel Discussions

1.2. Living the new education normal: Flipped learning with authentic resources
Flipped learning has sometimes been over-simplistically described as one that students 'learn' first at home, and then ask questions in class to further 'understand'. While this is true to some extent, the new education normal has opened doors to how flipped learning should be executed, which involves a strong authenticity to learners' backgrounds and prior experiences. Join the panel of experienced faculty members as they share their insights on these pressing issues based on their experiences in their project developments.
