Professor Isabella Wai-yin POON Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President |
The annual Teaching and Learning Innovation Expo at CUHK is an excellent opportunity for teachers to share good ideas and practices on teaching and learning. The Expo cultivates a culture of reflective teaching as teachers are encouraged to rethink and refine their practices for better learning outcomes. I have witnessed many occasions in which diffusions of good teaching and learning practices have taken place. Innovative and effective strategies used by one or a few teachers in one discipline are disseminated and discussed in the Expo, raising interests of teachers in other disciplines and generating new ideas for further enhancement, thereby gradually improving teaching and learning across the entire campus over time. I am most delighted to see that the Expo has effectively engaged many teachers and the number of participants has grown considerably over the years.
As stated in CUHK’s Academic Development Proposal (ADP) for 2016-2019, institutional advancement in eLearning is one of the University’s major directions for development, and the construction of micro-modules to support flipped classrooms will be widely promoted. I am pleased to see that “micro-module and flipped classroom” is the special theme for this year’s Expo during which our pioneer teachers will share their experiences. I am also glad to see the “student voice” session again in which students will share their views on micro-module and flipped classroom. I would like to express my gratitude to these students, especially for the time and effort they put into the preparatory work during the period of their final examinations.
I very much hope that the Expo will bring new insights to all participants. I look forward to sharing with and learning from you in Expo 2015!
