Learning Development Office, Bangkok University, organized the "BU Innovative Teaching Award 2026" to promote and develop faculty members' potential in designing modern, creative teaching and learning approaches that meet the needs of today's learners.
The project ran continuously for nearly 10 months, beginning with open enrollment for faculty to join training sessions and workshops aimed at developing knowledge and skills in learning management, designing learning experiences in line with the educational ecosystem, and applying technology and innovation. Faculty then piloted their ideas in actual classrooms before translating the results and experience gained into a Teaching Case.
The final judging round was held on Friday, September 18, 2026, at Studio 3, Communication Arts Complex Building, Bangkok University, with a total of 19 faculty members competing. Each presented a concise overview of their teaching concept and case study, followed by a Q&A session with the panel of expert judges, led by
