This seminar, led by Dr Sai Kishore Ravi from City University of Hong Kong, focused on transforming passive lecture-based classrooms into active, student-centred learning environments through scenario-driven Team-Based Learning (TBL), flipped classroom strategies, and light-touch gamification.
Participants were introduced to practical approaches for designing collaborative problem-solving activities that encourage students to apply knowledge rather than simply absorb information. The session highlighted how digital tools can support large-scale active learning, and how instructors can shift their role from content experts to facilitators of learning, adapting to the evolving educational landscape shaped by AI and instant information access.
During the interactive session, attendees explored real-world examples from Dr Ravi’s own undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and discussed how these techniques could be adapted for their own teaching contexts. The event concluded with a Q&A, equipping educators with actionable strategies and insights to foster deeper student engagement and critical thinking.
