Throughout his NUS career, Teck Keong has been teaching large classes (200-800 students per semester). The challenge of effectively managing the teaching and learning needs of not only a large but also diverse student cohort every semester motivated Teck Keong to explore using technology in his practice. His appointments as Resident Fellow of King Edward VII Hall and as Director for Residential Life and Resident Fellow at the College of Alice and Peter Tan have also motivated him to leave a lasting and positive impact on his students. Through his new appointment at CDTL, Teck Keong looks forward to expanding his network of colleagues to share ideas and deepen his understanding about teaching and learning in higher education.
