The problem with today's education is that most educators are still teaching the way they were taught in the past. Hence, there is a need to revisit the traditional conception of teaching and explore new ways to redesign learning so that it is relevant to the growing challenges of preparing our students to function in tomorrow's world. This course is designed to facilitate pariticipants to redefine their conceptions of teaching and redesign their students' learning experience so that they meet the needs of the 21st century education.
