While some of us have heard of AR and VR, most of us tend to associate it in with gaming - such as Pokemon Go. Or even Beat Saber. However, Immersive Technologies today have impacted a lot more than just our entertainment scene.

Find out just how far AR/VR today have developed - not just for play and work; but also in our lives.

In this year’s Learning Journey at Singapore Polytechnic, our trainers at Edukinect would like to present a two hour workshop to take you on a Digital Transformation Journey where we will get the Faculty and Staff to work out the answers about the technology that is used at SP. How would you rate the success of technology adoption on campus and how (will it) change the future of learning that is heavily promoted these days.

This journey will help you to learn about what is available now within your four walls and encourage discussion as to what can be changed or used differently in your next class or the next intake.

It brings together tools for teaching, creativity, collaboration. What can we do with Power Apps? How can we make use of Big Data or Power Analytics that everyone is talking about, to get meaningful data to support students’ learning or influence outcomes? Can we integrate these tools not just in teaching but extend their use further into other aspects, such as in School Administration, influencing student intake and (possibly) defining policies in the Polytechnic. In essence, how will we push technology and use it to foster greater collaboration and increased productivity in SP?

Learn more about Twitter's mission and values, how the platform operates and how educators can tap on Twitter to enhance learning within the classroom. The learning journey will also touch on emerging issues within the tech sector, including issues such as fake news, and Twitter's perspective and actions to combat such issues.

On top of that, if educators are interested, we will be happy to answer general questions relating to working in / our experiences in the tech sector.

“Learn how brands are exploring Facebook's platforms around the world to engage audiences.

Look deeper at how Facebook, Instagram, Messenger do it right, and share some learnings that are making difference on campaign's performance – a great insight for lecturers to guide their students in campaign design and integrated campaign formulations.

Engage in a round of Q&A after the presentation, and ask us questions on recent trends to bring them back to your classrooms for your lessons and student project consultations!”

Be introduced to Google’s “Crowdsource” app, a gamification app that can be used to engage students as a pre-class ice-breaker platform. Also tour Google Singapore’s office and observe how Google shapes its corporate culture through its office design and space dynamics.

(Immerse yourself in the Google crowd – and have lunch on Google!)”

As educators, have you consider incorporating the science of learning in your pedagogical practice?

Do you constantly advocate “work harder!” to your students?

In this session, we will share key lessons from our courses “Learning to learn better”. The course has benefited more than 500 undergraduates and adult CET learners since August 2017, including 80 students from France. Many attested the course as a life-changing experience about knowing the meaning of learning.

We will explore evidence-based strategies that worked for our learners. Most often, the best learning practices are counter-intuitive. Proven strategies such as interleaving, desirable difficulties and spaced practice will be discussed. At the end of the class observation, we will discuss via a group reflection exercise how to support your learners to maximize their potential.

For this learning journey workshop, participants should be prepared to share how they have incorporated learning strategies in their current teaching portfolio.

In this Learning Journey to Singapore Management University, there will be two talks:

1. "Flipped Classroom" by SMU School of Information Systems
2. “Providing an Interactive, Participative and Tech Enabled Learning Experience” by SMU Centre of Teaching Excellence
