This seminar will discuss how to integrate digital story-telling, experiential learning and social impact in curriculum innovation in an “Edu-preneurial Leadership” course in Master of Education. The speaker will share how this integrated approach enhances students’ critical thinking, non-digital and digital communication skills, teamwork and work ethics as required in Co-op education. The discussion will cover how this approach promotes students’ citizenship, career prospects and employability with the positive commendation from various social stakeholders including the Government, the Business Sectors and the Reputable Leaders. It will also introduce how teaching might relate to Government’s policy-formulation & impact creation, as well as Enterprises’ business and professional practice, which would in turn benefit students and our own teaching as a whole in the “Teaching-Advisory-Practice (TAP) cycle”.
