EdeX Symposium

Since its inception in 2012, CTLP has been at the forefront of promoting teaching and learning excellence through its EdeX grants. These grants, aimed at funding scholarly projects delving into teaching and learning practices, have been pivotal in advocating SoTL.

The inaugural EdeX Symposium was held on 19 Feb 2024. It commemorated the impactful outcomes of various NTU teaching and learning grants, recognising their transformative role in faculty careers, and sparking new ideas for the future.

EdeX Symposium 2025 was headlined by Professor Manu Kapur, who paved the way for the world to relook at how it views productive failure as part of learning. Participants were invited to reflect on:

• Why, if learning from and through failure is so important, can we not design intentionally and systematically for it in higher education
• What to make of evidence for the counter-intuitive notion that problem solving before instruction can significantly boost learning vs instruction-first model
