Message from the Vice-Chancellor

Professor Joseph J.Y. SUNG

Vice-Chancellor and President
The Chinese University of Hong Kong

It is my great pleasure to learn that the Teaching and Learning Innovation Expo has turned into its ninth year in 2015. Looking back, it reminds us of our steady progress over the years in nurturing a sense of community among teachers in our university as they share innovative teaching and learning strategies and learn the good practices from each other. I see new teaching strategies being promoted and new concepts being adopted across different disciplines in the University in the past years and am glad to see that both teachers and students benefit from them.

This year two holders of University Education Award will share their secrets of good teaching in the keynote address sessions.

Highlights of this year’s Expo include development of micro-module courseware and the adoption of the flipped classroom approach. The adoption of new pedagogy may change the landscape of teaching and learning gradually but fundamentally. It will be a golden opportunity for the teaching community at large to exchange their views on these topics.

There will also be an interesting ‘Student Voice’ session in which about ten students will explain to the audience how they perceive the effectiveness of multimedia micro-module courseware and the appropriateness of flipped classroom in their courses. We believe that the more engaged teachers and students are in their dialogue about teaching and learning, the better we can create an environment that enhances teaching and learning.

On behalf of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, I welcome you all. I wish the Teaching and Learning Innovation Expo 2015 a success.
