Revision week


DrC  log - 27.11.2018

Revision is practice and practice makes students perfect.

This semester, DrC recommends the following techniques:

- Break your study modules into easy bites
- Create a study timetable
- Use games for revision via Kahoot
- Role play with team mates and apply concepts learned in class
- Try speed testing.

* So far students like the format. Speed testing is pressurizing and stress driven. Often students don't like to put themselves in such conditions. 1 out 10 will answer the question in timed conditions. Other students feel engaged and motivated to start their studies before finals start.

Mission accomplished!

Great ambitions and expectation from self, and others is a key take way from Qissati. As an educator, I urge all like-minded colleagues t...

The mighty future of eBooks: An educator’s perspective

The history of writing around the world indicates that the earliest inscriptions were on Egyptian walls and papyrus scrolls. In India, engravings were done on palm leaves, rocks and copper plates.  While in China, it was seen on silk and stone, and in Greece, clay tablet carvings were the norm. While our world has evolved, our need for documentation has remained the same. We document our learnings, so that they can be passed on. For 500 years, we documented in the Gutenberg format, called the “physical book” but with the advancement of technology and the internet, the physical book has found a new place and meaning in our society today, and this has led to the revolutionary invention of the e-book. We can now safely archive our books for posterity without the fear of damage and destruction. The transition to eBooks is fast, and at some places exponential. Younger generations are more inclined towards eBooks. However, certain successful writers refuse to sell their content wi...
