What is HECS (formerly known as HECC) 2024?
Previously, HECC served as the main educational conference at NUS, offering those committed to NUS education a platform to network and learn from each other.
This year, CTLT extends the conversation to our fellow educators from the autonomous universities (AUs) in Singapore.
Why join HECS 2024?
Just as it was with HECC, HECS 2024 offers educators from Singapore’s AUs the opportunity to discuss and share our respective teaching and learning practices while continuing to explore emerging higher education issues. HECS 2024 is vital for the establishment of a community of those with an interest in Singapore’s higher education landscape.
Theme
This year’s conference will centre around the theme, “Crafting Opportunities from Challenges”. The rapidly evolving higher education landscape is filled with challenges, including the rise of Generative AI and Large Language Models, the imperative to cultivate students who will actively contribute to the broader community, and the pressing need to prioritise student wellbeing. Join us as we engage in dynamic discussions on teaching and learning approaches to transform challenges into opportunities for growth, crafting a brighter tomorrow for our students.
Sub-Themes
We invite extended abstracts on the following sub-themes:
Opportunities from Generative AI
Despite the rapid evolution of Generative AI, we want to consider how this technology can be leveraged for teaching and learning in higher education.
Opportunities from Engaging Communities
Through engagement with communities, we want to consider approaches and initiatives to foster social responsibility within our students.
Opportunities from Wellbeing
In the critical realm of student wellbeing, we want to consider strategies and approaches aimed at nurturing mental wellness and promoting psychological safety.
Extended abstracts may cover more than one of the sub-themes.
