SUBANG JAYA, July 22 (Bernama) -- Taylor’s has recently won 16 Gold medals for its e-Learning innovations at the 2022 edition International University Carnival on e-Learning (IUCEL2022) organised by the Ministry of Higher Education. The varsity placed the second highest at the virtual event after this year’s hosting institution, Universiti Putra Malaysia, which won 20 Gold medals.
Additionally, Taylor’s took home 25 Silver and 7 Bronze medals awarded to academics from both Taylor’s University and Taylor’s College.Senior Lecturer and Programme Director for Master of Laws programmes at Taylor’s Law School (TLS), Puteri Sofia Amirnuddin, won a Gold medal for her ‘Personalising Virtual Learning for Law Students Through Interactive Video Branching in a Post Pandemic World’ product.
According to Puteri Sofia, the integration of interactive video branching goes beyond uploading recorded lectures. It features interactive and personalised elements to ensure that students attain the microlearning outcomes for each subtopic. After watching an assigned video and attaining the relevant learning outcomes for the subtopic, the subsequent one will be unlocked, failing which the previous video will automatically replay.
“At TLS, we embrace the concept of ‘active learning’ to inculcate higher-order thinking skills amongst our law students. This method prevents memory decay as the duration of each 'branch' video is between 5-10 minutes, providing students with the opportunities to absorb and reflect on the information shared to learn another aspect of the law,” she explained.
Another Gold medal was awarded to Director of The Me.Reka Makerspace (TMM), Mike Choong. Previously participating in IUCEL2021, he collaborated with fellow Taylor’s academics Puteri Sofia Amirnuddin and Razif Mohamed to present their ‘Gamifying virtual delivery of law modules using Lawleypop app’ product.
