Our society constantly changes and what and how we can equip students through university education thus require changes and upgrade in order to meet new needs. The new demands and the new environmental changes call for our revisits of teaching and learning strategies regularly - among them may include the use of technology and engaging students in active and constructive learning activities. Teaching excellence also calls for a practice of continuous improvement through reflections and evaluations.
This expo serves as a platform for teachers to share innovative teaching and learning ideas and experiences. The sharing no doubt will promote good practice and keep teachers abreast of the latest educational framework, technologies and methodologies. I am grateful to all of our colleagues that they are receptive to new ideas and are willing to derive and apply new teaching strategies for the benefits of students. Throughout the years I noticed that the scale of the Expo has been growing. It impresses me that many of us realize the benefits of sharing and communications in achieving teaching and learning excellence. The ideas and authentic experiences of our colleagues is a valuable treasure for all of us.
In the Expo this year, teachers who have obtained teaching excellence awards are to share their experiences in the keynote sessions. There will also be a special “Student Voice” section in which a group of students will cast their views on how elearning could be used or not used in the University from the students’ perspective.
On behalf of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, I would like to express a warm welcome to all of you. I wish the Expo in this year a big success.
