Transformative Teaching & Learning through the Use of Digital Technologies
A paradigm shift in teaching and learning process is triggered by several internal and external factors. Education system is moving to be more flexible and diverse focusing to be student-centric. At the same time, our students today are native digitals while the teachers are digital immigrants. Bridging these two key stakeholders in the realm of education is a key challenge we face today. Technology has been always the backbone for educational practitioners and communities of learners for effective teaching and learning process. Yet, some of the technology contributions are still unexplored and orthodox in nature as they were established in pre-digital era. In this talk, we will explore innovative and transformative ways of incorporating digital technologies in education process as well as implementation strategies and associated challenges. In particular, we share some examples of innovative solutions implemented for teaching Information Systems courses.

MyCompetencies: Competency tracking mobile application for is students
Speakers: Dr Swapna Gottipati, Assistant Professor of Information Systems (Education), Singapore Management University
Singapore Management University
The overall aim of learning outcomes and competency based education is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of higher education. It's important to track regularly student's competency acquisition so that the faculty can improve the teaching delivery and adapt the content accordingly. Student based self-assessment of competency tracking on a weekly basis aids faculty to intervene in course delivery process for effective teaching and learning experience. It also helps students to have a better understanding of their competency levels and accordingly prepare for weekly sessions. To enable students to self-assess the competencies in more structured format, there is a need for a systematic tracking tool. Additionally, it is also important for this tool to leverage on the latest technology for enhancing user friendliness and provide pervasive access through mobile technology. In this paper, we present a mobile web application, MyCompetencies, which enables faculty and students to track competencies on a weekly basis.
