Workshop 2:
CUHK Examples of Effective Case-rich Web-assisted Teaching and Learning
This was an opportunity for participants to have a hands-on exploration of web-assisted teaching and learning courses used by teachers at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Dr Tor Chiu talked about the 'Burns and Plastic Surgery' website which contains many real medical cases and quizzes to support students' self-study. On behalf of Prof. Sally Chan, Paula Hodgson demonstrated the 'Mental Health Nursing' website and explained how the video-enhanced cases on the site have facilitated the students' in-class discussion and self-directed learning.

WORKSHOP 3:
Evaluating Web-assisted Teaching and Learning
"Is your use of the Web effective in your teaching?" "What evidence do you have that your teaching really supports students' learning?" Evaluation is an essential component of scholarly teaching. This includes web-assisted teaching and learning strategies.

Evaluation was the process by which teachers seeked evidence which enabled them to judge how sensible and successful their teaching and learning design decisions were. The workshop explained, with examples, the several stages of the evaluation process:

1. Work out evaluation questions.
2. Choose strategies to use in answering these questions.
3. Develop an evaluation plan.
4. Collect data, analyse the data and then make decisions about what to do next.

The examples were based on web-assisted courses currently being used in Hong Kong.
