He has previously worked across all sectors of the British educational system. Dennis is the author of ‘The Challenge of Reframing Engineering Education, the first book to fully document the implementation of the Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate (CDIO) Engineering Education Framework in an Asian context. He has invented highly effective and practical models for promoting good thinking in the curriculum, creative teaching and blended learning,
“This book is wise, thought-provoking, and peppered with powerful quotes. Written using stories from his wide personal experience, the author vividly illustrates his 10 core principles of evidence-based teaching, and shows how to make these sensitive to any context. The book demonstrates how to become a creative and effective teacher, including the use of blended learning, and also looks insightfully at how teachers themselves learn and develop as professionals. A great guide to becoming an effective teacher.” (Geoff Petty, one of Britain’s leading experts on teaching methods, author of “Teaching Today and Evidence-Based Teaching: A Practical Approach”)

I was able to obtain very helpful information and practical takeaways after reading this book. In my role as an educational technologist, much of my work revolves around providing faculty support in using technology to enhance teaching and learner attainment.

The chapter on blended learning also provided good insights on how technolog. wan chi ming said A very good book for teaching professional to improve their teaching.
