Dear Educators,
Digital transformation is enabling Asia to adopt more interactive, student centered blended learning approaches in education, with traditional concepts of pedagogy and learning approaches shifting in order to improve engagement and student outcomes. This transformation and ongoing evolution in teaching presents new challenges including: How can successful models of learning be adapted to work in more collaborative and interactive blended learning environments? What is the best way to inspire cultural change across faculties and campus to support them in implementing pedagogical shifts to blended learning? How can existing classrooms and campuses be repurposed into active blended learning spaces, and what role does the purposeful application of technology play in such development?
With this in mind and following the success of our education events globally, IQPC is delighted to put together Asia’s fi rst event focused on Blended Learning to be held from 15-16 June, 2016 in Singapore.
This event will deliver strategies on how to achieve excellence in collaborative learning by integrating pedagogy and new technologies to create the next generation of blended learning environments to ultimately improve student experiences and learning outcomes.
We hope you will join us in this unique opportunity to share, engage and brainstorm with your colleagues on how to inspire learners and support instructional outcomes with innovative campus spaces and digital environments.
I look forward to seeing you in June 2016.

PRE – CONFERENCE WORKSHOPTUESDAY, 14 JUNE 2016
WORKSHOP A § 9:00-12:00
Enhancing learning and teaching using learning analytics
The emerging fi eld of learning analytics seeks to provide approaches and techniques using student data to improve learning environments. In this workshop the aim is to explore ways in which learning analytics can be used to enhance learning and teaching, both from a curriculum design perspective as well as to support students in individual learning tasks and assessment. Participants will take part in practical activities which will consider the types of questions we might ask for which learning data could inform answers. The role of theory and learning design will be considered in facilitating interpretation of learning analytics outputs. The workshop will also showcase recent research from the international learning analytics community.
Dr Catherine KhawChief of Analytics & Intelligent Systems Practice, Institute of Systems Science, National University of Singapore
Building a learning community exploring ways ideation (processes for generating ideas) and visual techniques can support the design and delivery of teaching material and help students eff ectively think through and communicate their work. Creating learning resources and establishing networks for the dissemination of ideas and techniques can simplify the communication of complex ideas and enhance critical understandings. In building on the research and teaching expertise of its core members in relation to visual ideation, creativity and mobile technologies, this workshop can help in crafting learning that is research-inspired, trans disciplinary and integrated both in terms of student learning and staff development.
In this hands-on workshop you will: Engage in some visual thinking exercises Share experiences of visual thinking and doing Explore some lo-tech, hi-impact techniques that can be
modifi ed to suit a range of teaching contexts Consider ways to enhance one of your own text-
based activities by tapping into more visual modes of engagement
WORKSHOP B § 13:00-16:00
Visual thinking: creatively disrupting the primacy of text-based teaching & learning
“I was empowered with the wealth of information and insights shared and exchanged among the participants at the conference. While we listened to presentations from the speakers, the group discussion sessions provided us
with very current and relevant ideas drawn from individual experiences of the participants.”

POST – CONFERENCE WORKSHOPFRIDAY, 17 JUNE 2016
M-learning or mobile learning is often described as learning across multiple contexts, through social and content interactions, using personal electronic devices.M-learning technologies focus on the mobility of the learner, interacting with portable technologies, ranging from MP3 players to tablets. Mobile devices in a blended context allow students to engage, participate, collaborate and share using devices that most of them already have in their pockets and that are familiar and comfortable for them.The challenge facing many universities and educational institutions is now devising BYOD policies to facilitate students using their own devices for studying and equipping academics with the knowledge to utilize mobile technologies in their teaching.
