About the Event :

This workshop will provide hands-on practices for participants to design and develop mobile interactive learning activities by incorporating Instant Response System (IRS) into blended learning environment. By doing so, students' learning effectiveness would be improved and students' critical and reflective thinking would be enhanced.
