Infusing Principles of Learner-centred Learning in IDM Courseware Development

Various blends of pedagogical strategies and technological affordances have been proposed for the 21st century learners commonly known as the Net Gen, Gen Y, or Digital Natives. At Ngee Ann Polytechnic, we have conjured our own unique blend of Interactive and Digital Media (IDM) courseware development that is anchored on a solid learning design and infused with Learner-Centered-Learning features. This paper describes our use of courseware, virtual simulations and interactive game for the teaching of Electrical Technology module.
