Enhanced Self-Directed Learning Using “Rewind on the Go” and Class Activities

Abstract

In this chapter, the learning approach of using lecture recording (“Rewind on the Go”) and class activities is implemented to offer students with more flexibility. This teaching approach is beneficial because the lecture recording (“Rewind on the Go”) not only allows the learners to access learning (knowledge) at anytime and anywhere, but it also sets as a prior knowledge before they apply it in-class activities. The class activities could be conducted in classroom and out of classroom to allow variation and fun learning for students. Continuous implementation of this approach can enhance self-directed learning, which subsequently promotes critical thinking and the ability to adapt to the fast-changing environment. Such an approach is also useful to address different learning styles among students. A survey conducted by the faculty showed that 90% of the students revealed that they understood and could relate the relationship of the lesson activities to learning objectives and learning assessments through this approach. This suggests that the students can make learning more meaningful with this approach.
