Faculty Member Receives Certificate of Appreciation From the National eLearning Center
In November 2021, the National eLearning Center (NELC) granted Mohsin Raza Khan a certificate of appreciation for his exemplary work in reviewing a course on the FutureX learning management system. The FutureX platform, launched in October 2021, seeks to unite institutions across the Kingdom in a collective effort to advance the human capital development goals outlined in Vision 2030.
Mohsin expressed enthusiasm about FutureX and the ASAS initiative's forward-looking plans, stating, "As a course reviewer, I drew upon my expertise as a Quality Matters master reviewer to ensure the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) adhered to best practices. Many of the key practices and areas under review align closely with the E-Learning Practitioner course, an annual program administered by the Deanship of E-Learning."
In addition to his role as a course reviewer, Mohsin spearheaded the E-Learning Practitioner certification course in November 2021. The program, run annually by the Deanship of E-Learning, reached numerous participants throughout King Khalid University. The course aimed to boost student engagement, interaction, and quality learning.
The core objectives of the program were designed to empower participants to:
- Develop diverse content items, presenting a range of learning activities to enrich student learning.
- Implement authentic assessments to appraise student knowledge in a multitude of meaningful contexts.
- Utilize Blackboard communication tools to foster interactions among students, instructors, and course content.
- Leverage the capabilities of Blackboard Collaborate™ tools to heighten student engagement by enabling knowledge sharing and creation.
Mohsin's dedication and commitment to enhancing the e-learning experience underscore the broader mission of the Faculty of Languages and Translation to foster educational innovation and excellence.
