'I really liked the forum as it seemed a bit like a family gathering and was informal- making sure participants felt comfortable- therefore presenters were comfortable in sharing their honest experiences of their teaching practices and findings. There were a lot of parallel sessions and I felt like I was missing out on a lot of interesting talks. Maybe the forum should be a bit longer? On the other hand, because it seemed like a family gathering, new participants, like me, felt a bit out of place and afraid to join in the discussions.
At the forum, I learned of various teaching methods and their successful implementations. I attended the forum in hopes that I would have the opportunity to learn a bit more about the implementation of challenge-based learning. However, at the forum, I was exposed to the possibilities of using serious games in education. I aim to follow up on the potential of using serious games in education
I think it is a great opportunity for UT students and teachers to be a part of such a forum to learn from others, as well as for the teachers at the UT to be appreciated for their efforts in a community that values teaching.'
