The University promotes Blended Learning (BL) as a key active learning pedagogy. In addition to supporting the design and redesign of courses using the BL approach, the University has established specially designed classrooms to facilitate interactive in-class learning. Courses delivered in the BL mode will have priority access to these active learning classrooms.

To help students achieve specific learning objectives, sometimes we may need to design and develop customized learning objects for interactive learning or assessment purposes. CEI will assist faculty and teaching staff in their approved projects to design, prototype and develop customized interactive learning objects. These learning objects can be deployed on Canvas as well as the MOOC platforms such as Coursera and edX.

Upon approval of your proposal, CEI will touch base to kick start your project. The central support team, consisting different skill sets, will provide assistance along the development workflow.

Various tools provide a platform to facilitate and support Active Learning strategies in class or online. Some tools are available online for free, while others require a subscription fee to use the complete set of features. Below are some recommended tools for specific Active Learning strategies.
