Induction Programme for New Academic Staff 2020

The Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) organised a series of forum and seminars on 4 and 7 September 2020 as part of the “Induction Programme for New Academic Staff 2020”.

The series started with the “Forum on Creating a Welcoming, Positive and Productive Learning Environment” on the first day.  The seminars of “Outcome-based Teaching and Learning (OBTL) and Criterion-Referenced Assessment”, “Online Teaching and Learning with Emerging Technologies” and “Learning Programme Accreditation and Quality Assurance” on the second day followed.

Dozens of existing colleagues joined our new academic staff to attend the sessions, which were conducted online for the first time to safeguard the health of the University community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The sessions were well received with positive feedback. The participants found them informative and inspiring, and gained a better understanding of HSUHK’s teaching and learning.

The webinar of “Shine a Spotlight on Students (…Subtly): Practices to Keep Your Students ON-line” on 9 September 2020 gave more tips to academic staff on online teaching on top of the series.  More events may follow to welcome the new teachers.
