CUHK CLEAR

Introduction

Although grant recipients usually disseminate their successful cases at the CUHK annual Teaching and Learning Expo, conferences and journal articles, it is possible that the benefits of these new successful pedagogies, which are indeed invaluable resources, are restricted to individual courses and students of the grant recipients.

By studying all the 96 previous TDLEG projects in the trienniums 2009-2012, 2012-2015 and the 2015-2016 roll-over year, 9 exemplary projects were selected according to a comprehensive list of criteria for identifying good practices of the TDLEG projects. The criteria include (1) achievement of project objectives, (2) deliverables, (3) scope of beneficiary, (4) generalizability/ transferability and (5) project impact. The following showcases were then developed based on these nine projects:

  1. Showcase 1:  Bridging experiential (study abroad) and academic learning through critical reflection and web-enhanced pedagogy (2009-12 triennium)

  2. Showcase 2:  The development of an OBA assessment model for science subjects (2009-12 triennium)
