About this Course

Humanities in Focus guides learners to explore and answer three fundamental questions 1. What is Humanities? 2. Why Humanities Matter? 3. Why Humanities matters to Me? In each learning sequence, learners will first explore the topic through interactive discovery activities. Then our instructors will guide learners to question, humanise and connect problems and issues in those topics, and will share why they believe humanities matters. After watching each lecture video, learners will then reflect on their understanding through discussing selected issues with humanities in focus. To help learners personalise the course content, presenters specialising in different majors and professional fields will share how a humanities perspective helped them solve problems and issues they faced in their fields. Learners will then reflect on how a humanities perspective can make a difference in their own field of expertise.
