Medical Education Workshop: Design Thinking in Curriculum/Course Design

Design thinking in instructional and curriculum design can enhance creativity in teaching and learning in assessments by taking an empathetic student-centric approach, whilst balancing the teaching and learning possibilities with constraints of the department and faculty.
The model of empathy, define, ideate, prototype and testing will be used in group design activities and discussions occurring in person along with the usage of Padlet. Groups collaborate on group members’ ‘real’ educational problems. The design thinking mindset encompasses curiosity, empathy to needs and contexts of individuals and users, collaborative working in valuing diversity, acceptance of uncertainty and progress and can be used to innovate, problem solve and enhance existing curriculums.

Who should attend:
People involved with curriculum design or interested in the uses of design thinking in medical education. Course coordinators, module coordinators, teachers, and supporting staff in education (e.g. Professors, Associate Professors, Lecturers, course administrators, and supporting staff) are welcome to join.

Formative Assessment Workshop

The current wave of test-based “accountability” makes it seem as though all assessment could be reduced to “tough tests” attached to high stakes. Summative assessment is the attempt to summarize student learning at some point in time, say the end of a course, they are not designed to provide the immediate, contextualized feedback useful for helping teacher and student during the learning process. By contrast, formative assessment occurs when teachers feed information back to students in ways that enable the student to learn better, or when students can engage in a similar, self-reflective process.
During the COVID-19 period, if the primary purpose of assessment is to support high-quality learning then formative assessment ought to be understood as the most important assessment practice.
The workshop will facilitate participants to understand the principle of assessment and the benefit of formative assessment. How to promote formative assessment within CUHK during this difficult period of time.

Who should attend:
Teachers or clinicians planning to organize formative assessment

Registration:Closed
