Expanding teaching and resources ● 混成學習 (Blended Learning)
課程結合實體授課與線上學習（同步視訊／非同步活動）。
Combines face-to-face instruction with online learning (including synchronous video sessions or asynchronous activities).
● 參與式創新教學 (Participatory & Innovative Teaching)
強調學生參與與產出，導入翻轉、PBL/專題、設計思考或遊戲化等策略。
Emphasizes student engagement and outcomes by adopting strategies such as Flipped Classroom, PBL (Problem/Project- Based Learning), Design Thinking, or Gamification.
● 數位科技融入 (Digital Technology Integration)
運用生成式AI、VR/AR、IoT、IRS等新興科技輔助教學與評量。
Utilizes emerging technologies such as Generative AI, VR/AR, IoT, and IRS (Interactive Response Systems) to facilitate teaching and assessment.

The course corresponds to the SDGs SDG4：優質教育（Quality Education）

Does the course incorporate AI ● 使用生成式AI作為教學過程的輔助工具（Use generative AI tools as an aid to the teaching process）
● 鼓勵學生使用生成式AI工具（Encourage students to use generative AI tools）
● 使用生成式AI進行課堂即時互動（Use generative AI for real-time classroom interaction）
