MIRI: A team of academics from Curtin University Malaysia clinched the coveted Gold Award at the recently concluded Third International Competition on Sustainable Education 2024 (SUSED 2024).
The award-winning team, comprising Tan Inn Shi, Henry Foo, Bridgid Chin, Stephanie Chan, and their colleagues, was recognised for their groundbreaking project.
The project’s innovative approach integrates Digital Formative Assessment (DFA) techniques with Gimkit, a game-based learning platform, to create a dynamic and interactive learning environment.
By focusing on metacognitive skills and learning motivation, the team’s work not only enhances students’ understanding of complex fluid mechanics concepts but also empowers them to take ownership of their learning journey.
The significance of this achievement goes beyond the accolades as this project exemplifies the university’s commitment to enhancing student outcomes through cutting-edge teaching methods.
“This project is a testament to our drive for innovation in teaching and learning. It exemplifies how we can harness technology to elevate student engagement and performance, which are key priorities in our educational strategy,” said Professor Tang Fu Ee, Dean of Learning and Teaching at Curtin Malaysia.
Tang expressed confidence in the potential for more groundbreaking projects emerging from Curtin Malaysia’s academic community, driven by the university’s support through seed grants.
“This Gold Award is just the beginning. We look forward to seeing our academics push the boundaries of educational innovation, developing projects that make a global impact,” he added.
