Hongliang Ma’s Expression of Interest

Being a teacher who have taught for more than 10 years in universities, I always expect to use all kinds of theories and tools to improve my teaching and facilitate students’ learning. Although Cybernetics is a new theory for me, quite different from learning theories, there could be some new implication of Cybernetics for my teaching practice, especially for remixing and developing OER for undergraduate students and post-graduate students in China. So my interest is what kind of new perspectives Acting-Learning-Understanding model and other Cybernetics models can give us on teaching and learning, and how these human knowing models could be used effectively to facilitate students‘ learning in classroom setting and online setting. In other words, I am looking forward to the practical value of Cybernetics on teaching in face-to-face, online or blended situation.
