Professor Adrian David Cheok will be giving a keynote speech at Visual SG 2016 Forum in the Singapore Science Center.

Speech Title: Everysense Everywhere Human Communication

Venue: Maxwell Auditorium, Singapore Science Center

Date: 1.30pm, 22 July 2016

Visual SG is South East Asia’s signature Visualisation Festival. The Festival profiles data
science through its bold emphasis on the visual aesthetics, insights and narratives that reside
in data. Envisaged as both a serious study and playful showcase, Visual SG presents a full
on visual spectacle of data through the lens of artistic and creative expression. Through its
line-up of interactive displays, forums and workshops, Visual SG not only raises awareness of
the burgeoning field of big data, it also aims to provoke conversations on the significant role
of data analytics in today’s business and societal contexts.
Now into its third year, the Festival seeks to expand in scope and geographical reach. As
Visual SG makes connective strides in linking up to other regional festivals such as the Festival
of Scientific Visualisation in Japan, the Centre projects that Visual SG has the potential to
become Asia’s premier Visualisation Festival. Science Centre Singapore is thus seeking
strategic partnerships and alliances to develop and brand Visual SG as Asia’s best focal point
celebration of data science.
The theme for Visual SG this year is “Beauty in Patterns”. There is rich data intrinsic in both
natural patterns as well as man-made permutations. Adapting from this, the Industry forum
will explore the various trend shifts in big data, open data and data analytics and how these
add up to make us more connected and smart!

Adrian David Cheok is Chair Professor of Pervasive Computing at City University London, and currently helms the Imagineering Institute of Iskandar Malaysia as Director. He has extensive experience in mixed reality, real-time systems, embedded computing, wearable computers, fuzzy systems and power electronics.

His work has been highly recognized. Some of his impressive accolades include the Hitachi Fellowship, Microsoft Research Award for Gaming and Graphics, SIP Distinguished Fellow Award, and first prize in the Milan International InventiON competition. He was also elected as World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, and as a Fellow of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA), an organisation committed to finding innovative practical solutions to today’s social challenges.

Part of his initiative in providing alternatives to solving today’s social challenges has seen him involve in unconventional collaborations with Nike, National Oilwell Varco, Ministry of Defence, VF Corporation and many others. His research has also seen him produce boundary breaking inventions such as “Human Pacman”, “Magic Land”, “Metazoa Ludens and “Kissenger”.

Therefore, it will be a great miss if you do not catch him in the upcoming i-USEr 2016. It is time to unbound yourself to extraordinary HCI applications by learning from the Master himself.

The modern educator faces an unprecedented challenge: to navigate a rapidly evolving educational landscape characterized by technological innovation, diverse student populations, and dynamic curriculum standards. To meet these demands, continuous learning is no longer a mere aspiration; it’s a professional imperative.

The Impact of Stagnation

Teachers who fail to adapt risk delivering outdated content, employing ineffective teaching methodologies, and failing to inspire students. In a world where information is readily accessible and attention spans are increasingly short, students expect dynamic, engaging, and relevant learning experiences. Stagnant educators cannot meet these expectations.

The Benefits of Continuous Learning

By prioritizing professional development and Improving Outcomes with Expert Insights, educators can:

Enhance pedagogical skills: Acquire new teaching strategies, learning theories, and classroom management techniques to optimize student outcomes.
Develop digital literacy: Master emerging technologies to create interactive and engaging learning environments.
Cultivate cultural competence: Build understanding of diverse student backgrounds and perspectives to foster inclusivity.
Strengthen content knowledge: Stay abreast of the latest research and developments in their subject areas to deepen their expertise.
Boost teacher morale and job satisfaction: Engage in stimulating intellectual growth, leading to increased job satisfaction and a more positive classroom environment.

Creating a Culture of Continuous Learning

To foster a culture of lifelong learning within schools, administrators must:

Provide ample professional development opportunities: Offer a variety of options, including in-service training, conferences, online courses, and mentorship programs.
Allocate dedicated time for learning: Schedule regular professional development time into teachers’ schedules.
Encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing: Create opportunities for teachers to learn from one another through peer coaching, collaborative planning, and professional learning communities.
Recognize and reward professional growth: Celebrate teachers’ accomplishments in professional development and provide incentives for continued learning.

By investing in the professional growth of their educators, schools can create a dynamic and responsive learning environment that empowers students to succeed in an ever-changing world.
