通識午餐聚會 GE Lunch Seminar
因材施教：為通識學生建構個性化的學習經驗
Getting Personal: Creating a Unique Personalized Educational Experience for Students in GE Courses

不少研究指出，教育工作者越能夠因應學生學習差異因材施教，並將教學內容與日常生活連繫，學生就越容易達成預期的學習目標。個性化的教學策略，同時亦有助鼓勵學生備課和溫習。是次通識午餐聚會旨在讓與會者能夠：

1. 掌握在課堂收集、整理，以及運用學生資訊的技巧；
2. 理解學生的參與如何有助達成課堂的學習成果；
3. 運用學生資訊，建立一個正面、有趣的學習環境。

Studies have shown that the more educators are able to personalize the learning experience for students, making it relevant to their daily lives outside the university, the more likely it is that the course outcomes will be achieved. Personalization also fosters a greater engagement on the part of the student in terms of preparation and study. After the seminar, faculty will be able to:

1. Utilize simple strategies to solicit, retain and later incorporate information about students during course lectures and activities;
2. Explain the connection between student engagement and achieving course outcomes;
3. Develop a plan to use student information to create an exciting, positive learning experience.
