Innovative eLearning Tools

New teaching and learning software is constantly being developed or upgraded with enhanced usability and capabilities that may have the potential of further supporting teaching and learning.
The 'Support for innovative eLearning strategies' project aims to introduce these latest eLearning strategies to the University community. We are not only interested in the technical and functional aspects of these innovative strategies, but we are also, and perhaps are even more, interested in the teaching and learning benefits these latest technologies might bring.


We, therefore, host a range of innovative technologies and would like to invite pioneering teachers to use the functions of these new tools in their teaching.


Tools you can access now:
  • LAMS@CUHK: LAMS is a tool that supports topic and lesson planning, and the management of learning activities. These activities can be online, face-to-face, or a mixture of both.

Other Tools under evaluation:
  • Tools that support collaborative media-rich learning environment (e.g. the open source Gallery, and Mediawiki)


  • Tools that assist the building of student portfolios which facilitate demonstration of and reflection on learning progress (e.g. the open source Portfolio)
We would welcome any comments on the now-available or the potential innovative eLearning tools. Please contact Paul LAM.
