- Abstract
The mode of teaching in Universities has not changed greatly for a century or more. The technology associated with the internet means that we can now make major changes as we move further into the 21st Century. After Division of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) was established in 2005, extensive e-learning resources were put in place and have continued to be developed, and a strategy to ensure student involvement was designed. We now have a blend of written material, images, videos and quizzes deployed in online sequences in order to ensure that students are prepared for practical work. NTU has since then launched a major initiative on "Technology Enabled Learning" (TEL). We are building on our earlier experience to use technology in all courses. These initiatives are opening up opportunities to change the way students learn. Can we take advantage of technology to take a great leap forward in the quality of university education, or will it be much ado about nothing? The e-Learning described in this lecture was employed in courses on Forensic Science and Organic Chemistry (including laboratory courses) at NTU and evaluated by discussion with the students and by formal teaching feedback.
