Course Instructions/Guidelines

Each week, students are expected to work through lessons that present security-specific readings and research
and/or statistics-related concepts that bring to life examples of how the weekly topic applies to educational
research. This will allow students to clearly understand how the course material relates to their jobs as teaching
professionals.

At the end of each module are activity questions that are relevant to the topics discussed. Students will be
required to provide the answers to the exercises/learning tasks as cited as these will earn marks for this course

This course will combine a variety of the following teaching and learning methodologies to maximize
students’ intellectual abilities and develop their learning capabilities:
Teaching media will be used in the series of lectures supplemented by online participative discussions and
problem solving randomly in the chat room.
Lecture notes are provided for providing information, demonstrating skills and providing a framework for the
subject. Asynchronous learning approach will be used where lecture notes, PowerPoint presentation or links of
video researches will be uploaded through chat group, e-mail, and other available platforms.
Enrichment write-shop, worksheets exercises, reflection activities and reading articles are provided whenever
needed, worksheets and other activity guidelines are shared.
Varied teaching methods aligned to the CLO will be used, most specifically from the following sources:
