CIT’s newsletter for August 2018 has been published. For our August 2018 newsletter, we have launched a new audience response service called Poll Everywhere and also inform users about our existing services on Zoom and Module Trailers.

CIT has collaborated with NUS Teaching Academy to produce a series of introductory videos on NUS’ inspiring teachers. This video series highlights the strategies and engagement techniques used by NUS inspiring teachers when they teach their students. To date, CIT has produced 32 videos that have been showcased to NUS Teaching Academy’s website, http://www.nus.edu.sg/teachingacademy/about-us/our-people/executive-council/.

Engage your students with CatchBox throwable microphones. CatchBox is a throwable cushion box with a microphone inside to enhance student engagement and to liven up interaction within the class.  CatchBox is a great ice-breaking tool between lecturers and students and creates higher participation rates among students. Students do not have to wait for the mics to be passed to them or walk to the aisles to ask questions. CatchBox can be passed around faster than typical handheld microphone. This allows more questions to be answered within a limited period of time. CIT has acquired two CatchBox throwable microphones for use at University Town.
