"A good teacher functions as a pointer to truth, but not a giver of truth...
points out the importance of being able to enter a mold without being imprisoned by it,
or to follow the principles without being bound by them.
." ~ Bruce Lee
I am truly grateful to be able to facilitate future teachers and learners alike to
be empathetic, be kind, be critical, and be holistic in their approaches
towards a better collective future.
People-centric Design for Education using simulation technology (MEDD8931)
Faculty of Education,
The University of Hong Kong
As simulation technologies become increasingly accessible in educational settings, they offer the potential to bring the invisible to life, make feelings, sensations, and experiences that cannot be easily communicated verbally or textually experienceable, bridge gaps in understanding, and enhance the teaching of STEM, art, humanities, and communication.
This course, "People-centric Design for Education Using Simulation Technology," is designed to go beyond mere technical skills. It expands to explore how we might utilize it effectively (the 'HOW'), and more importantly, ensure we understand the purpose ('WHY') and the intended audience ('FOR WHOM') in its application and enhance the teaching of STEM, art, humanities, and communication.
