Program Description
As technology increasingly intersects with education, there is a need to provide more training opportunities that support and enhance Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) among health professionals. TEL has surged in prominence with the pandemic. However, many health professions educators struggle with the available educational technologies, not just with the technical details, but also understanding when and how best to use them, as well as the underpinning educational principles that support their use. This formal course that will provide health professions educators with the necessary educational frameworks, understanding and practical skills to critically evaluate and incorporate existing educational technologies in their own teaching practice to promote and encourage learning.
The Executive Certificate in Technology Enhanced Learning program consists of 4 courses (2 core + 2 elective) with a total of 4 academic units. You can also take each course as a standalone. Each course consists of 3 half-day sessions.

Core Courses
GMS5301
Principles of Learning and Teaching in the Professions
This course will give students a framework to develop skills necessary for course design, teaching, learning, assessments, and facilitating learning within the context of their professional context. Students get to build their confidence in teaching practice through reflection and participation in a community of practice. With their peers, students will be exploring learning theories, course design and good instructional practices. Finally, students will have opportunities to put theory into practice in the form of a microteaching activity or portfolio where they will receive feedback from their peers and experts.
GMS5302
Principles and Applications of Technology Enhanced Learning
This course aims to introduce students to the principles of teaching and learning when using technology. Students will have the opportunity to explore, evaluate and incorporate existing technologies in their own teaching practice to promote and encourage learning. This course will provide the theoretical foundation for those who wish to further explore advance topics in using technology to enhance learning.
Elective Courses
GMS5311
Fundamentals of Simulation-based Education in Health Professions Education
This course will expose students to the fundamentals of simulation-based education (SBE) in healthcare. The course will explore the educational theories applied to SBE, scenario design, creating safe learning environments, and facilitating immersive simulation, touching on feedback and debriefing. students will have to opportunity to design, develop and implement a simulation-based educational activity specific to their healthcare setting.
GMS5312
Immersive Learning
This course provides an introduction to immersive learning, an approach that makes use of Extended Reality (XR) technologies to create a highly interactive virtual or simulated environment where learners can be fully immersed in the learning process. During the course, students will learn about the principles of immersive learning, key XR enabling technologies. Students will also learn to recognise the opportunities and challenges presented by immersive learning, as well as evaluate their use in healthcare education.
GMS5313
Serious games: Applications in healthcare
This course aims to introduce students to the world of using games for learning. Games are usually associated with entertainment but “serious games” are designed with a specific intent and purpose. Students will learn about the principles of designing games and be able to evaluate the use of serious games for learning and patient care.
GMS5314
Learning Analytics and Student Performance
In learning analytics, educators use technology to improve learning by capturing course delivery and student learning data to report on the student’s performance. Through learning analytics, we can obtain objective traces of data to understand student learning and do a faster iteration to close the loop of teaching, learning and feedback to improve student’s learning experience.
GMS5315
Implementing Online Assessments
This course is designed to introduce healthcare professionals to the fundamental principles in medical education assessment practice. Students will explore the foundations of evidenced based assessment theories and practice that are most suitable for use in the healthcare sector. This course will focus on the implementation of authentic and valid online assessments. Formative and summative online assessments will be explored, in addition to the appropriate delivery of actionable feedback.
COURSE FEES
The program consists for 4 courses (2 Core + 2 Electives). Eligible participants will be able to tap on the
SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) Funding Scheme*. All figures are in SGD.
