5th AUB Faculty Seminar on TEACHING AND LEARNING WITH TECHNOLOGY - Prof. David Standen

Prof. David Standen presentation entitled "Developing Business Plans through Moodle". The stakeholders of modern education require, now more than ever, an emphasis on the development of soft skills such as teamwork, negotiation, communication, collaboration and cultural integration. Unlike the hard skills, which are easily transmitted in the traditional classroom environment, soft skills are developed through activity, action, participation and practice. By creating a "virtual class," a meeting place unhindered by time and distance, students are drawn into a 24/7 learning experience where they express their questions and doubts as well as answer and comment on those of their fellow classmates. As their own knowledge and experience becomes intertwined in the sum of shared information, they are further motivated to participate and increasingly stimulated by the subject matter.
