Abstract

CUHK has benefitted from the Teaching Development Grant (TDG) / TDLEG allocated by the University Grants Committee (UGC). Over the years, many TDG projects have demonstrated success in bringing changes to pedagogies, re-vitalising teaching content and experimenting engaging learning activities. Project investigators (Pls) are encouraged to disseminate these good practices at the CUHK annual Teaching and Learning Innovation Expo, conferences and workshops. Yet these are usually one-off events. A more effective method to disseminate and sustain the impact of these good practices and innovative pedagogies is to develop online modules housed in a designated webpage. CLEAR was awarded resources from TDLEG (2016-19) to build a repository of successful TDG projects which created impact on student learning or enhanced the learning environment. TDG projects awarded in the 2012-15 triennium were reviewed. ‘Exemplary TDLEG projects@CUHK’, and nine micro-modules were developed to sustain the value of the previous exemplary TDLEG projects.

The proposed project is a continuing project. The previous project reviewed the TDG projects in the triennia 2009-2012, 2012-2015 and the 2015-2016 roll-over year. We intend to apply for funding to continue the review exercise of the 2016-19 projects and disseminate good practice via ‘Exemplary TDLEG projects@CUHK’. All the 2016-19 projects (which is over 100) will be reviewed and exemplary projects identified. The project content, deliverables and how they impact learning will be presented in micro-modules. The webpage will be used as materials for Professional Development Course for new teachers. Nonetheless, promotion will be organised to disseminate this webpage.
