Community Idea Exchange

 23 June 2021

 12:00–13:15

Faculty teaching practical work-based courses (labs, workshops, etc.) can leverage the strengths of modern learning management systems (LMS) – which are becoming increasingly common in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic – and employ digital pedagogical practices to enrich the student learning experience. This session will discuss how faculty can curate versatile hybrid courses by hosting demo videos, discussion and feedback forums, design sessions, specially designed assessments, and an online student community on LMS.

A traditional first-year engineering workshop course was augmented using Habib University’s newly acquired LMS (Canvas). Lessons from the teaching experiment will be shared in the session.
