I am a firm advocate for a hands-on training approach, as it offers a deeper understanding of the subject matter complementing theoretical concepts and enhancing overall learning. Thus, a significant portion of my trainings are allocated to engaging students in practical activities, allowing them to apply the knowledge acquired during lectures to solve real-world problems specific to the topic. I have meticulously crafted an extensive array of hands-on training laboratories for each course. Moreover, multimedia technology is an integral part of my teaching strategy, particularly for remote and visual learners. I leverage a wide range of multimedia tools and resources to create engaging and interactive learning experiences. By the end of the semester, my students will exhibit a high level of comfort in developing and articulating their accumulated skill sets to address real-world problems.
*My interest in building a learning community in classroom led me to make YouTube videos to enhance the understanding of my students. For more information, please visit my Channel at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/HealthGIS
