Major Research Areas
Research Summary
Prof. Yeh has pioneered many educational experiments and designs. In 2016, he received the highest award for innovators in Taiwan, the Presidential Innovation Award. He also developed PaGamO, the first-ever multi-studenti game for any general courses in 2013. It received the Overall Award and E-Learning Award in Wharton-QS 2014 Stars Awards: Reimagine Education, the "Oscars" of innovations in higher education.
Prof. Yeh has pioneered many educational experiments and designs:
• He is the first to win the Overall Award and E-Learning Award in Wharton-QS 2014 Stars Awards: Reimagine Education, the "Oscars" of innovations in higher education.
• He is the first to teach a MOOC course in Chinese with 60,000+ students.
• He is the first in the world to design a MOOC-based multi-student social game to enhance the learning experience of the MOOC students.
• He is the first to design various experiential learning schemes that enables college students to be graded by elementary school students on their presentation skills.
• He is the major advocator of flipped teaching in Asia and set the record high attendance more than 2236 teachers attending a speech event Prof. Yeh on flipped teaching.
• He is the first to create and promote the style of designing mathematical problems with creative literary writing.
Since 2010, Prof. Yeh has been the strong advocator of his teaching philosophy: “For the students, By the students, Of the students". It states that students can be motivated to learn if the teachers can share more responsibility with the students, for instance, let students design their own homework problems. Prof. Yeh’s speeches have motivated tens of thousands of teachers in Asia to start thinking differently in teaching.
