Expert talk: Dr. Qiyun Wang

We are thrilled to welcome back distinguished University of Twente alumnus (’01) Dr. Qiyun Wang, a global leader in educational technology ranked in the top 2% of researchers worldwide and Co-Director of CRADLE at Nanyang Technological University (#12 globally).

The Challenge of Hybrid Learning Blended Synchronous Learning (BSL) allows online and onsite students to learn together simultaneously. However, remote learners frequently face lower engagement due to geographical separation, isolation, and fewer opportunities for real-time interaction. Dr. Wang will share insights from his latest funded research projects to bridge this digital divide.

Key Takeaways:

• Cognitive Engagement: Practical strategies (like structured discussions and peer feedback) to turn passive online observers into active contributors.

• Emotional Connection: Methods to foster and detect emotional engagement in adult learners.

• AI Integration: How generative AI conversational agents can be leveraged to support remote students.
