Training Programs Offered
1. Alternative Assessment for Meaningful and Authentic Learning
This workshop introduces educators to alternative assessment strategies that move beyond traditional tests and exams to evaluate students’ real understanding, skills, and creativity. Participants will learn how to design performance tasks, portfolios, project-based assessments, rubrics, reflective activities, and authentic assessments aligned with learning outcomes.
The session highlights how alternative assessment promotes deeper learning, supports diverse learners, and provides richer evidence of competency, especially in skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and problem solving. By the end of the workshop, educators will be equipped to implement a variety of assessment methods that are fair, engaging, and better aligned with 21st-century education needs.
2. Integrating Generative AI into Teaching & Learning/Training Session
This session equips educators and trainers with practical skills to leverage Generative AI as a powerful tool for lesson design, assessment, content creation, and personalised learning support. Participants will learn how to integrate AI tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini into their daily teaching workflow, enhancing engagement, improving efficiency, and elevating instructional quality.
The workshop focuses on hands-on application, showcasing real examples of how AI can assist in developing learning materials, generating feedback, supporting critical thinking, and creating adaptive learning experiences. By the end of the session, participants will be ready to use Generative AI confidently and responsibly to transform their teaching and training practices.
3. Design Thinking for Problem Solving
This workshop introduces educators and professionals to Design Thinking as a human-centred approach to solving complex problems with creativity and empathy. Participants will explore each stage of the design process—empathise, define, ideate, prototype, and test—while learning how to apply these steps to real challenges in teaching, learning, and organisational contexts.
Through hands-on activities, participants will discover how Design Thinking encourages innovative ideas, supports user-focused solutions, and transforms traditional problem-solving into a more exploratory and impactful experience.
4. Project-Based Learning (PjBL)
This training helps educators implement Project-Based Learning (PjBL), an approach that guides students through the full cycle of planning, designing, building, and presenting a tangible product or solution. Unlike Problem-Based Learning, which focuses on analysing and solving a specific problem, PjBL emphasises longer-term projects, iterative prototyping, teamwork, and the creation of a meaningful final output.
Participants will learn how to design project briefs, scaffold student progress, incorporate milestones, and assess both the process and final product. By the end of the workshop, educators will be equipped to run impactful project-based activities that develop creativity, communication, engineering design skills, and authentic application of knowledge.
5. Problem-Based Learning (PBL)
This training equips educators with practical strategies to design and facilitate Problem-Based Learning (PBL) experiences that promote deeper understanding, critical thinking, and real-world problem-solving. Participants will learn how to craft meaningful problem scenarios, guide student inquiry, and structure collaborative learning effectively.
By the end of the workshop, educators will be able to implement PBL confidently in their own classrooms, transforming lessons into authentic, learner-driven experiences that enhance engagement and support higher-order thinking skills.
6. Outcome-Based Education (OBE)
This workshop provides educators with a clear and practical understanding of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and how to implement it effectively in teaching and curriculum design. Participants will learn how to develop measurable learning outcomes, align teaching strategies with those outcomes, and design assessments that accurately reflect student achievement.
Through hands-on activities and real examples, the session demonstrates how OBE improves clarity, accountability, and student learning. By the end of the workshop, educators will be able to apply constructive alignment, create meaningful assessment rubrics, and ensure their courses meet institutional, national, and international quality standards.
7. Engineering Education Research (EER) Skills
This course empowers educators to transform their classroom practices into publishable research, providing the tools and frameworks needed to design rigorous studies grounded in real teaching experiences.
For postgraduate students, the course offers a clear, structured understanding of how to shape and direct their research. Participants will learn how to refine their study focus, develop strong research questions, and align their methodology with their goals, ensuring a smoother journey toward completing their thesis.
8. Customizable Internet of Things (IoT) Training
Enhance your team’s technical competencies with hands-on Internet of Things (IoT) training, fully customizable to your preferred hardware and programming environment. Whether you are working with Raspberry Pi, Arduino or Micro:bit, this workshop provides practical guidance to build real-world IoT solutions.
Participants will gain experience using multiple programming platforms including Python, MakeCode and TinkerCAD—making the workshop suitable for beginners and intermediate learners across diverse STEM backgrounds.
This training can be tailored to your organisation’s needs, covering sensor integration, data acquisition, cloud connectivity, dashboard development and prototype building.
