Many thanks for this warming up video, and wish to better elaborate and further discuss your viewpoints tomorrow during the training in Beirut.
Indeed, I agree with your opinions regarding the utility of digital learning in terms of internationalization, reaching a wider audience, giving chance to silent students who would not otherwise contribute, and online updating of learning with opportunity of many commentaries. In the current status of our region, I see online and blended learning a great opportunity to get in touch with students when physical campuses are off. I see also that digitization of learning makes instructors aligned with the vision and interests of today's generation of students.  I am looking forward to receive applicable digital training to start implementing at my institution.
See you soon!

It was indeed a very nice idea to introduce the workshop with this video.
I agree with all of the ideas. Indeed, there are a lot of opportunities for e-learning. I will develop one based on our current situation in Lebanon:  I think that online learning can be a key solution to continue with students teaching and learning even when they are at home because of strikes or fear from corona spread :( ... It is a safe way to access them and continue with the learning experience.
looking forward to see all of you nex week, physically and virtually :)

Thank you all for this great discussion and the opportunity to develop learning in health domains.
Though I believe we have plenty of challenges ahead, I am particularly interested in the idea of teaching the students how to learn. we live in a world that evolves every day and this concept would give the graduates the skills needed to keep up to date.
Moreover, blended learning would be highly beneficial especially in learning drug design and formulation.
Looking forward to meeting all of you in Beirut.

Thank you for making this professional introductory to the new era of education, indeed the best way to teach a student (me as an example) is to give him some ideas to stimulate his curiosity.
Yes, Nesrin (AIU) we will be exploited at the first (as usual, being a teacher isn't easy job) and we will lose our jobs as teachers eventually but our recompense is having our students as colleagues from the beginning of our courses (less stressful, less difficulties in transferring knowledge and more enlightening).
I share Kinaz (AIU) the belive that the current situation of our country will push our traditional education mentality (especially in health domains) to implement the new methods rapidly and even more I believe that these new methods will free up our education mentality from banking model of education.
Am I expecting to much from this project?

Hello every one. Pleased to be part of the team.
As a recent tutor, I think that online lectures will give me the opportunity to give  more time-managed lectures, in addition to the benefits that we all perceive of saving the lecture time, the ability to concentrate on discussions of the insensible issues to students and the increased perception of students during practical sessions if there were prior online material. However,  I might feel a little insecure of being replaced by the online material, or at minimum, I have fear of exploitation (the possibility of using the tutor for giving lots of practical sessions in order to compensate for the time of the estimated lecture).
Yet, I believe that we must adapt to the advances in  the global trend of teaching.

Thank you very much for your efforts. I know you work a lot to meet our needs.
To me through the digital repository of my lectures I can self-assess my courses to improve them. And, as you mentioned in the video, our students are going to work in the digital age, so the risk for our universities is that if they do not adapt to this new reality, the demand for higher education will decrease because it is irrelevant to reality. One more point, according to our current circumstances this is the only way for international cooperation
