Building online learning activities that effectively meet desired learning outcomes while engaging students is really not as difficult
as many believe. The Learning Activities Management System (LAMS) focuses on allowing our pedagogy to drive the technology.
It allows the instructor to think about the instructional design, using its intuitive drag-and-drop interface to create learning
sequences that focus on learning outcomes.
Thinking about Learning Design

LAMS brings learning design to a new level; it helps instructors move away from creating single-user, self-paced learning objects,
to thinking about creating sequences of learning activities, involving groups of students, working collaboratively in a structured
online environment. Equally important is the fact that these sequences are easy to build, easy to modify, easy to deploy, and
easy to re-use.
The various tools that are available in LAMS can be broadly categorized into 4 areas:
• Informative (TelifTeach)
• Evaluative (Test)
• Collaborative (Talk)
• Reflective (Think)
Within each of these areas, there are many tools that LAMS offers which can help present content effectively and also provide
avenues for active engagement for enhanced student learning. Incorporated are features like Chat, Forums, Q & A, Multiple
Choice, Spreadsheet, Gmap, Wiki, Survey, Resource Sharing, File Submission and much more.

Tracking Student Progress

To track students' progress, LAMS has a built-in Monitor that allows the instructor to see how well each student has progressed
through the learning sequence and to export the results for printing or analysis.
About the Workshops

The Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching in Nanyang Technological University is a certified regional training centre
for LAMS. The workshops that are conducted here offer participants the opportunity to explore how the various tools can help
them create meaningful and pedagogically sound learning sequences for their students. Two workshops are offered at this stage:
The Basic Workshop introduces participants to the features and functionalities within LAMS, focusing on learning activities
built upon learning outcomes. It will also introduce the participant to the Monitor, where student progress is tracked.
The Advanced Workshop is designed for the more-seasoned user of LAMS who wants to extend his learning design to include
group activities, conditional branching, optional sequences and other advanced settings.

The Certificate in Teaching for Higher Education (CTHE) aims to enhance and develop the teaching skills of our faculty members
so that they can meet the challenges of the changing paradigm in teaching and learning at NTU. The following components
will constitute the 100 hours of the programme:
• Teaching and Learning in Higher Education • Enhancing Instruction using ICT
• Communication for Teaching and Learning • Assessment in Higher Education
The programme, organised and co-ordinated by the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELl), will be conducted
by faculty members from the National Institute of Education (NIE).
The programme is divided into two parts (50 hours each):

• Part 1: Communication and Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
• Part 2: Technology-Enhanced Instruction and Assessment in Higher Education
Participants will receive a certificate of attendance upon completion of Part 1. If they also complete Part 2, participants will
receive a certificate in Teaching for Higher Education from NIE.
The details for each part are listed below:
PART 1: Communication and Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (50 hours)
By the end of this 50 hour module participants should:
• Have an enhanced understanding of the intricacies of the communication process in a teaching and learning environment
• Have been exposed to and had the opportunity to incorporate into their lecture materials, strategies and techniques for
developing rapport, encouraging student involvement and delivering information effectively
• Have developed a greater understanding of current practices at university level that enhance undergraduate learning
• Have been exposed to and had the opportunity to incorporate into their lecture materials, elements of design and usage
that can improve the effectiveness of visual aids in lectures, primarily PowerPoint slides
Note: The communication component focuses on using communication in effective pedagogy. It is not designed to deal with
basic issues such as grammar, pronunciation or vocabulary topics.
PART 2: Technology-Enhanced Instruction and Assessment in Higher Education (50 hours)

This component of the programme will focus on Technology-Enhanced Instruction and Assessment in higher education. It will
build on and utilise appropriate topics developed in Part 1.
The practice of instructional design is strongly process-oriented. Best practices in this field are typically based on well-conceived
processes that serve as frameworks for successes. Without a process, design and development activities become fragmented,
making it difficult to see the trees from the forest. CTHE (Part 2) provides the participants with a firm grounding in the key
processes of instructional design as applied to e-Learning.
The course will take on a blended approach of face-to-face and online delivery methods. Participants will be required to complete
a practical project involving a conversion of traditional teaching materials into an e-Iearning format as a form of an assessment.
This project will be supported by facilitators from the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Design effective e-Iearning activities which enhance the teaching and learning experience
• Create appropriate online resources which extend the learning experience
• Provide effective online support which facilitates the online learning experience
• Use appropriate instructional approaches and strategies which motivate and engage learners
• Understand how to confidently conceive of and utilize instructional software toolkits to enable the
teaching and learning experience
Please contact Mr Alan Soong (email: TEAMS@ntu.edu.sg or tel: 6790-5996) for more information about the programme.

Course Objectives
This workshop draws on the vast body of higher education level
teaching literature for a sharing of tools for enhanced instruction.
In considering the workshop sharing of 'tools', the participant
may recall the timeless advice of the sage: Always use the right
tool for the right job. But in teaching there may be several, even
many right tools for a given teaching job and this workshop
seeks to add to these alternatives as appropriate.
This workshop is designed to provide participants with:

• An understanding of noise-inducing behaviours
• Guidance and practice in methods that overcome 'noise'
and facilitate student engagement
• A summary of research that confirms the effectiveness
of these methods
• Information about possible pitfalls with the methods and

Nevertheless it is possible that the questions one may be asking,

however pertinent, may be incomplete, i.e., that only one aspect
of the entire mechanism involved in the learning process is
addressed. The learning process is fundamentally cognitive and
we sometimes conclude that where a student is struggling to
learn, the problem must be cognitive in nature. Several clues,
scientific and intuitive, lend to the belief that emotions may
explain not just a part of the learning difficulties encountered
but also the learning successes as well. A true learning process
does not involve only the 'cognitive' but also the 'emotional'
brain.
Course Objectives
The one-day workshop aims to provide tangible and integrated
applications of emotional intelligence into teaching strategies.
The workshop also intends to awaken within the teacher and
educator the desire to further "touch" the individuals to whom
they are imparting knowledge.
