ELearning Assistant Service

The eLearning Service@CUHK (eLS@CU), a joint project of Information Technology Services Centre (ITSC) and the Centre for Learning Enhancement And Research (CLEAR), would like to announce the new eLearning Assistant Service which is now open for application.

We have recruited and trained a team of student helpers (eLearning assistants) to closely work with teachers and assist them in planning and implementing their eLearning strategies. The eLearning assistants’ responsibilities include:

• advising teachers on eLearning strategies that might support expected learning outcomes;
  
  
• providing practical skills and tips in using the strategies;
  
  
• assisting teachers in developing the teaching materials and setting up the course websites in the learning management platforms (Moodle and WebCT);
  
  
• answering teacher' questions during the actual implementation of the strategies;
  
  
• suggesting to teachers the methods to collect feedback and data for evaluation; and
  
  
• informing teachers about basic skills so that teachers can do simple upgrades to the materials and independently use the sites in the future.

The typical eLearning strategies the eLearning assistants support involve operations of the different functions of WebCT and Moodle, and putting the learning materials such as PowerPoint and Acrobat on the learning management platforms.

Please send your request for service (your name, your course(s,) with brief descriptions of your objectives or your suggested eLearning strategies) to elearning@cuhk.edu.hk and we will get in touch with you as soon as possible. Please contact Ms Eva Cheung (eva-cheung@cuhk.edu.hk) if you need more information.
