Abstract

Funded by MMCDGS over the 4 years, we have developed almost 200 micro-modules to facilitate the classroom flipping pedagogy for the general education foundation course, In Dialogue with Nature. These micro-modules are now structured as a supplementary courseware website on KEEP. To supplement and extend the course content, micro-modules in our platform cover wide-ranging topics as well as various formats including short lectures recorded in studios, edited seminars and talks given by field experts, and students sharing in discussion and presentation format. This diversity of micro-modules aims to serve different students for their different needs. The website served as an integrated platform for students to provide a more convenient way of accessing all these different micro-modules developed under different projects. So far, this platform has been used by over 1000 students and has increasingly more users since its full launch this year. Recently, featured videos are added to introduce the micro-modules for each part of the course. With them, students will be more aware of what to look for before they go on to further explore the platform on their own. In this poster, we would like to introduce our micro-modules website as well as to share some of our tips for developing and managing such a large-scale micro-modules project.
