Ideas to
+21st Century Approaches
The Starting Point
Cut down on lecture time (if it’s 2 hours,
reduce it to about 30 minutes max, use the
remaining time for activities or meaningful ).
Get them involved more. Never mind if
they are “passive at first” continue to guide
them until they change from being “reactive”
to “active”
Engage by incorporating “fun yet
meaningful” activities (e.g. use interesting
case studies) – use good tools to support
this.
+21st Century Approaches
Improving your approaches by
including:
Pre-class activities – activation of
interest and triggering the foundations
In-class activities – reinforcement of
content and understanding
Post-class activities – enhancement of
understanding and formative assessment
+Online Collaborations
Good as post-class activities
Brainstorming – give the a
specific topic to brainstorm
right after class.
(Padlet.com; Popplet.com)
Mind mapping – can be
used to outline important
content covered

+Online Curation
Good as pre-class activities
Compile necessary
materials for a specific
topic (e.g. 5 articles for
Summarise them if needed
(Storify.com, Blendspace.com)
+
Storify.com
+
Blendspace.com
+Online Publishing
Good as post-class activities
Publish what they have
learned in a more
interesting way (e.g.
posters, digital
magazine/newsletter)
Slideshare.net, Issuu.com
+
Slideshare.com
+Supplementary Contents
Use materials readily
available as open-
educational resources as
supplementary to your
content.
Videos on specific topics.
(E.g. Khan Academy)
+
Khanacademy.com
More guided and with given space to ask questions
+Demonstrations
Allow students to video-
record the demonstration
(note the rules & regulations
e.g. don’t show faces of the
patients).
Produce a procedural outline
of the demonstrated steps. -
they can even reproduce a
video on it.
+So….
Tweak your approaches gradually by
including more students’ involvements.
Give some levels of autonomy to the
students to “personalise” their learning.
Believe that everyone can learn, just not in the
same way or on the same day.
Let them enjoy the learning experience and
not endure it.
Remember, students don’t care about what
you know until they know you care.

Thank you.
