原標題:謝邀!寧波諾丁漢大學參加中國國際教育年會分享高質量在線教學經(jīng)驗
10月底,第22屆中國國際教育年會在北京舉行,這次年會以“育新機、開新局,建設開放的高質量教育體系”為主題,云集中外政府主管部門、國際教育組織及中外頂尖大學的校長專家等。
寧波諾丁漢大學黨委副書記、副校長沈偉其教授主持“本科及以上高水平中外合作辦學質量建設研討會”。寧波諾丁漢大學教學副校長陳志偉(K. Cohen Tan)受邀參加,分別作了題為《后疫情時代學生課堂體驗及教師在線教學能力提升》與《中外合作大學后疫情時代的機遇與挑戰(zhàn)》的主旨演講。
陳志偉在主旨發(fā)言中分享了寧諾以高質量在線教學應對疫情的經(jīng)驗,及對后疫情時代背景下中外合作大學如何提升教學的思考。陳志偉回憶道,2020年4月,學校獲得政府許可重新開放校園,成為中國唯一一所全面復學復課的中外合作大學,超過85%的學生自愿選擇返校。“學校各大院系、職能部門加班加點,合力保障學生安全平穩(wěn)復學,并對無法返校的學生提供在線實時支持。如為遠程學習的學生提供先進的未來教室和全息式教學體驗,第一時間啟動全球領先的云監(jiān)考平臺,舉辦云畢業(yè)典禮邀請家長和未能返校的學生通過全球直播同步觀看等等。”
陳志偉認為,寧諾的快速反應得益于一系列強大的線上教學硬件軟件支持及為教師打造的全面綜合的交互式線上教學技能培訓項目。“寧諾始終致力于提供以學生為核心的高質量教學體驗,助力學生提升職場競爭力,煥發(fā)教學創(chuàng)新的內活力。學校亦在硬件與軟件配備上持續(xù)投入,以確保高質量的數(shù)字化教學輸出。”他說。
未來,寧諾將步入混合式教學的新階段,通過一系列培訓與研討會激發(fā)教師們在混合式教學中的理念培育與迭代,并探討新要求下的考核改革。寧諾還將啟動開發(fā)一系列契合當?shù)亟?jīng)濟發(fā)展需求的專業(yè),將可持續(xù)發(fā)展的理念和后疫情時代的學生培養(yǎng)要求融入到新專業(yè)開發(fā)建設中,將學生的個人持續(xù)發(fā)展力與時代和環(huán)境的需求有機結合,陳志偉總結道。
“中國國際教育年會”是自2000年起由中國教育國際交流協(xié)會主辦的每年一屆的中外教育界年度盛會,每年的主題根據(jù)國際教育的發(fā)展趨勢和社會熱點問題選定。經(jīng)過二十年,“中國國際教育年會”已成為一個高水平、高質量、高層次的教育合作與交流平臺。
UNNC shares online teaching experience in national conference
In late October, the 22nd China Annual Conference for International Education and Expo (CACIE) was held in Beijing, with the theme of “New Opportunities and Prospects for Building an Open and High-Quality Education System”, gathering specialists and principals of government authorities, international educational organisations, and top Chinese and foreign universities.
Professor Sam Shen, Vice-Provost for External Relations at University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), presided the Forum on High-Quality Development of Chinese-Foreign Cooperation in Running Schools. Dr K. Cohen Tan, Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning of UNNC, was invited to attend and gave keynote speeches.
In his speech, Dr Tan shared the experience of how UNNC has responded to COVID-19 pandemic with interactive online teaching and how Sino-foreign universities could improve teaching quality in the post-pandemic era. He recalled that the University opened its gates to students in April 2020, being the first Sino-foreign university in China to resume face-to-face teaching with over 85% of students choosing to return.
“Faculties and various departments across the University worked together to facilitate the safe return of students to campus. For off-campus students, we adopted various online teaching methods,” Dr Tan introduced. That included the adoption of upgraded student-centred virtual lecture rooms, “online invigilator” systems and on-site celebration with live streaming for graduation ceremony.
According to Dr Tan, the quick response of UNNC benefited from seamless digital learning capacities and supportive digital learning capabilities. UNNC pursues a student-centred digital learning vision to empower students’ employment competitiveness, achieve excellent teaching practice, foster creativity and innovation in teaching and learning and enhance staff teaching experience and student learning experience, he summarised.
In the future, UNNC will step into a new stage of blended teaching delivery, with improved pedagogies of blended learning with diverse training programmes, to explore the transform assessment praxis. The University is to develop a new suite of programmes tailored to the needs of the local industry and market alongside parallel projects to update current programmes, such as the embedding of Nottingham Equity, Diversity and Inclusion as well as sustainability values and post-COVID Professional Competency Skills within and beyond the formal curriculum, and build in additional career competitiveness support into students’ undergraduate study, concluded Dr Tan.
CACIE is a prominent conference in the field of international education organised by China Education Association for International Exchange since 2000 with multiple missions including policy briefing and consultation, academic and information exchange, exhibition and exposition, networking and programme development.
