Abstract

Students’ participation in teaching development has become one of the important strategies in the G3 Students taking ownership of learning and stepping out of comfort zone in the CUHK Strategic Plan 2021–2025. Involve students as partners (SaP) in teaching and learning development is an essential strategy that encourage students to take bolder steps in their learning journey. Meanwhile, SaP is a rather new concept to CUHK teachers. As teachers are the one to take initiations in engaging students, the concept, the benefits, the process and outcomes of SaP must be fully understood by them. Furthermore, there will be barriers to program design and difficulties in collaborative teaching and learning throughout the journey of SaP. Therefore, this proposal aims to conduct a pilot interactive platform to help teachers of CUHK to carry out SaP projects more easily by creating a full package of SaP, to (1) increase awareness of SaP developments at the university level; and (2) exchange ideas among academic staffs to facilitate SaP. The package includes (1) an interactive webpage; (2) Guidance tips for advisors to follow; and (3) series of workshops with experience sharing session of advisors.
