Develop and improve teaching and learning through blended learning Teaching Development and Improvement through Blended Learning

Introduction: E-learning is being replaced with traditional methods. The e-learning also has its own limitations and cannot be replaced by traditional education, completely. The educational experts try to mix e-learning and traditional learning in different ways, despite the advantages and disadvantages of the both methods. This article aims to introduce and evaluate blended learning approac...

Innovative teaching methods in Engineering

Second, structures, practices and methodologies of the current educational systems are not suitable enough to support the learning needs of the Knowledge Society. During the latter half of the past century, international thinking about education began to shift to a new paradigm. This shift was driven by an awareness of massive and on-going social, economic and technological changes, and the exp...

Innovative Teaching Techniques and U.S.-Developed Materials

In common with many other universities, we recently introduced some innovative teaching techniques in two introductory physics courses at the University of Toronto [1]. These included Peer Instruction, Interactive Demonstrations, and Activity-Based Tutorials. For many of these, we used classroom-tested materials from U.S. universities, and found that they were often insufficiently challenging f...

Innovative Teaching Using Simulation and Virtual Environments

Simulation and game-based techniques are becoming increasingly popular methods of inquiry into complex service-science-related problems and phenomena. Integrating these techniques and models into the curriculum allows for students to visually learn about the objects of their study and the related concepts, interact with processes, components, and systems, and understand the underlying dynamic b...
