The 7th HKU Teaching and Learning Festival 2024
The 7th Teaching and Learning Festival, organized by the Teaching and Learning Innovation Centre (TALIC) at HKU, will take place from October to November 2024.
Under the theme “Enhancing Student Engagement and Learning in the Digital Age,” this festival aims to provide a platform for educators to share and exchange teaching practices and pedagogies that foster student engagement and effective learning in today’s digital era.
The festival will feature seminars, workshops, and poster showcases led by HKU teachers who have been implementing effective strategies in their classrooms to engage students in learning. Additionally, there will be open classroom observations providing an opportunity for you to reflect on what can be learned about your own teaching by observing your colleagues in action.
Don’t miss this chance to explore new teaching possibilities, gain inspiration from your peers, and contribute to the enhancement of teaching and learning at HKU. Mark your calendars and don’t miss any events!
