One of my main tasks that we decided on before coming to Singapore, was that I would take part of planning and executing a new course called Physics for Computing. This is a course that had been in planning for years, but didn’t become reality until 2018. The idea is that the students in computer […]
At NTU almost all lectures are automatically (as from the teachers side) recorded live and uploaded onto the educational platform (in their case NTULearn, which is an implementation of Blackboard). This makes it unnecessary for the students to attend the lectures if they do not want to since recordings of all lectures are available online […]
Yesterday, I was, once again, back in the recording studio. This time to record short video lectures introducing Classical Mechanics. These videos are, in other words, just recordings of the LT lectures that had in the beginning of the course Physics for Computing. I had to redo the lectures a little bit to fit the […]
All the laboratory work on the course Physics for Computing is conducted in the Hardware Physics Laboratory on the first floor of the N4 wing at North Spine. Since I spent some serious time in this lab it is worth mentioning. This lab is huge (compared to similar labs at Umeå University) and is based […]
Designing educational experiences is something that I really enjoy. This goes for everything from workshops and tutorials to Lecturing. Here at NTU, I have been teaching larger groups than I am used to from back home in Sweden. My largest group in Sweden is during the first unit for the new MSc in Interaction Technology and […]
NTU have had a vision, for some time now, on working towards Flipped Classroom with having most of their material online and using the student-professor time for actually working with the material instead of delivering it. I believe that flipped Classroom is great. However, I do not believe that the traditional lecture is a waste […]
I had the privilege to be in charge of the content for the eLearning week on one of the courses that I’m teaching here at NTU. This meaning that the content had to be recorded and put up online as eLearning material. This was a huge opportunity to learn about the recording facilities at NTU. […]
Yesterday I got the key to my office, that has undergone some renovation during the last couple of days. I have also started to get a better grasp of my (fixed) teaching duties during the semester. I will have responsibility for two topics on the course Physics for Computing – Mechanics and Prototyping. One part […]
Even though there have been some major negative and positive bumps on the planning route, that really has nothing to do with our stay in Singapore, I have now started to prepare some new lectures for the course Physics for Computing. This course is going to be the start of my co-teaching experience at NTU […]
