Description

The Microbiology and Immunology practical class Compendium (MiCompendium, affectionately pronounced as my-compendium) was curated by a team of educators from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology to complement learning of technical laboratory skills.

MiCompendium comprises of a series of in-house videos utilizing the Department Excellence Educational Programme (DEEP) studio @ LS Lab 9 and includes 1) general safety guidelines such as fire evacuation procedures and COVID-19 related regulations, 2) common laboratory techniques such as Gram staining, streaking of plates, SDS-PAGE and ELISA, as well as 3) equipment guides for equipment such as the microscopes and nanodrops.

Through MiCompendium, we hope to introduce/reinforce the laboratory techniques featured during practical classes, and increase student confidence as they begin their journey to become world-class microbiologists and immunologists.

This Sway was intended as Pre-Reading Material for the NUSMed internal educators’ workshop on “Creating ‘Byte’-Sized and Full-Length Teaching Content & Formative Assessments”, before the hands-on session on how to record videos, create Sway, do quizzes, etc.

Description

This geNiUSbook is concerned with the objects and structures around us and how they react to the forces acting on them. From impressive tall buildings in beautiful cities of the world, to spectacular long suspension bridges spanning across rivers, to massive colossal dams retaining tons of water in a reservoir, to stunning gigantic Ferris wheels bringing tourists high up to advantage view points, to amazing deep tunnels below sea beds cutting short travel times, to very large floating structures that create useable space in the sea that are highly adaptable to climate change, all these structures must withstand both the forces of nature and the forces that mankind has intended for them.  The principles that engineers use to create these structures are deceivingly simple, and it is the intent to explain these principles and fundamental concepts in a clear, straightforward manner.

The Sway serves as a self-directed learning material for engineering students who are on the Industrial Attachment Programme. Email is an integral part of workplace communication, and during their internships, the students may have to write emails to a wider range of target audience. Being audience-centric is an important first step to effective email communication, and this is also the guiding principle of the contents covered in this Sway. Students will find useful tips and advice on the writing email process and conventions. They will also learn about how to handle difficult emails with empathy and professionalism.

This geNiUSbook supplements the lectures in the gateway module ”The Billion Dollar Pill”, where the principles of drug discovery and development are discussed. This chapter provides an overview of the first step in the journey of the drug discovery process, i.e. how drugs are discovered.

Streaming that new movie or that new series on Netflix might be more harmful than you think. In this video, we tackle the evident and clear lack of awareness of how we as individuals can impact and harm the ocean from a simple act we do in our everyday lives. Follow us, as we start on this journey of a time before the internet, to the development of the internet, to how our data-driven lives in a increasingly digital era affect the ocean and the world around us today. 

Communication and Cultural Diversity book is developed for the ‘NUR1110A: Communication and Cultural Diversity’ core module that is offered to the year-one nursing undergraduates in semester-one of their undergraduate journey. The book is designed thoughtfully as it gradually facilitates students learning from week 1 to 13 of the academic semester. The weekly lessons are planned based on blended pedagogy where online lecture videos are embedded so that students can watch them asynchronously and clarify their doubts during the weekly synchronous tutorials. The tutorial sessions are planned considering community of inquiry framework so that students can experience deep and meaningful learning via social (role plays with classmates), teaching (guidance and feedback from teachers) and cognitive (analysing real-life clinical scenarios) presences.  The book introduces fundamental communication frameworks via interactive modes including embedded videos and the authentic scenarios for the role plays. The links to further readings and examples of thoughtful reflections are added as appendices to scaffold students’ learning.  

The ultimate goal of this book is to provide one-stop resource for the nursing students so that they can be better prepared in their communication skills specifically with the patients and their relatives, their future colleagues and other health care professionals.

This sway serves as an e-book and learning resource for perioperative echocardiography for anaesthesia trainees. The sway contains echo video clips, educational content and embedded you tube educational tutorial videos created by NUHS staff members of the department of anaesthesia. The resource is updated on a weekly basis, with a new topic covered.

In addition to concepts in Cell Biology, we will learn about how researchers answer questions in cell biology by drawing examples from research articles. 

• To this end, I provide in the Sway basic information about the techniques needed for the culturing of Candida albicans, and other techniques relevant to the first research article we will be discussing on phagocytosis of C. albicans. 
• I describe below the typical components of a research article as an introduction for those of you unfamiliar with research papers.

As we will be discussing the article in some depth to complement our learning about basic concepts about cell biology, the are resources provided here to support your learning that you can use as and when you need. 

This e-resource page will be updated with additional materials as we go along. 

Description

This is the first in a series of Sway notes for the module ES2660 – Communicating in the Information Age. It provides information which sets the context for the lesson taught in the class tutorial. There are links to other relevant resources that students may go to in order to read more on the subject. The material here replaces what used to be tutorial ‘handouts’. Sway allows images, slides, videos and links to optional resources to be embedded in a single interactive document, so that this serves as an ‘all-in-one’ place for course materials. Even instructions for homework and assignments are included here.

Description

The Sway serves as a self-directed learning material for engineering students who are on the Industrial Attachment Programme. Besides compulsory internship reports as part of the key deliverables, the students may be required to write progress reports, lab reports or even incident reports as part of their job scopes. The Sway, therefore, aims to provide practical guidelines on how to effectively write these types of reports.
