Inaugural Professorial Lecture - Professor Joyce Koh

Online dexterity through 'designerly' problem-solving
About Professor Joyce Koh's research: 

Joyce has professional experiences in instructional design and teacher education. She co-designs innovative online and classroom-based instructional solutions with teaching staff while researching how to improve their professional development. She is particularly interested in how design thinking can help teachers to confront emerging technologies and student needs through more effective pedagogical change. Through various research grants that she has won as Principal Investigator, Joyce has developed and published design thinking tools, including technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) surveys and design rubrics for student-centred lesson creation, a flipped learning design framework, and survey instruments for assessing teachers’ and students’ online dexterity. Her TPACK instruments are being used internationally to assess teachers’ technology integration practices. Her TPACK publications, and a co-authored Springer book on Design Thinking for Education are highly cited. Joyce actively collaborates with international researchers and her PhD students to create and study instructional solutions for emerging higher education challenges.

This lecture will be followed with light refreshments, tea, coffee and juice.
