Technology is transforming learning and teaching, including the sector of vocational and professional education and training (VPET). This workshop aims to equip participants with the basic knowledge and skills of building a paperless learning environment by using fundamental functions of Google Classroom and Google Apps in VPET.
Google Classroom is a learning management system that aims to simplify creating, distributing and grading assignments in a paperless way. Teachers/Trainers can use it to easily assign work to students/trainees, accept assignment submissions, make announcements, supply materials, and more. Some Google Apps can be used to facilitate collaboration among students/trainees and allow teachers/trainers to provide timely feedback.
