To facilitate recording of video lectures for flipped classrooms and internal blended learning online courses (iBLOCs), CIT will be creating several satellite self-service recording rooms in selected schools and faculties.

The self-service recording rooms will have hardware and software to allow NUS staff to create high-quality screen recordings in support of teaching modules

This project is expected to be completed by end-March 2015.

Date: 25th Feb 2014
Venue: CIT Global Classroom, Level 3, Computer Centre building, Kent Ridge Campus
Time: 10 am to 12 pm

The purpose of the session is to provide iBLOC instructors with an introduction to key principles of blended learning, as well as an orientation to the Coursera platform user interface. There will be time for hands-on experience to create mock-up module, with emphasis on some key features that iBLOC instructors need to know.
