Although some of us had misgivings about Full Home-Based Learning at first, we experimented with novel methods of synchronous and asynchronous online education and were pleasantly delighted by the results.
There was also a sharing among department colleagues about some of the technologies we discovered during Full Home-Based Learning. Mr Goh Bang Rui brought Pear Deck to the department, an interactive teaching tool that allows professors successfully communicate with their students.
