redesigning pedagogy with video game-based learning
managing ICT-enabled systemic change
leveraging on technology-mediated pedagogies
integrating social media into education
designing mobile learning
jumpstarting and maintaining classroom innovation
the meddler in the middle: innovative teaching
the pedagogy of backchannelling
the pedagogy of questions (pending)
the pedagogy of empathy (pending)

My Modus Operandi

Video source

I turn down more opportunities than I take simply because I am often asked to deliver keynote speeches or conduct seminars. I do not believe in lecturing. One exception I made was to do a TEDx talk in November 2011 [video] [slides] [reflection] because it was more like a storytelling session.

You may ask me to deliver a talk, but I will provide you with an experience. You may know what you want, but I will try to provide what you need.

If you really, really want me to do a presentation, you might want to see the trouble I will create by previewing a sample of presentations I have done.

Most of the resources I use are Web-based. You can get a sneak peek into my workshops and experiential learning sessions by doing a scavenger hunt with my blog as a launch point!

A few of my consulting services are free* (e.g., Bhutan). Most are for a fee. When I led the Centre for e-Learning in 2010, I channelled the fees to pay for resources that my department needed, e.g., iOS devices, Mac computers, accessories.

Now my fees are my income. You get what you pay for. Don’t be penny-wise but pound-foolish. Insert your choice of not cheap cliche.

A Short Biography

I am often asked to provide a biography for promotional materials or notifications, I have prepared a general biography that people who work with me can use.

I prefer to provide more specific biographies based on the context of work, e.g., a biography that focuses on my flipped learning background and efforts when I am involved in delivering seminars or facilitating workshops on flipping.
