The Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) celebrated the 10th anniversary of CTL and the HSUHK Teaching Excellence Awards on 11 June 2025.

At the ceremony, President Simon Ho stated “Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our state-of-the-art facilities that foster creativity and engagement. Our dedicated and passionate teachers continually develop innovative and effective teaching methods to help students discover their interests and unleash their potential”, and expressed his gratitude to Teaching Excellence Awards recipients for their contributions.

Professor Jeanne Fu, Vice-President (Learning and Student Experience), highlighted the University’s commitment to embracing new and emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, to enhance personalised learning and meet the diverse needs of 21st century learners. Dr Ben Cheng, Director of CTL, emphasised that innovation and transformation highlight the Centre’s teaching and learning experiences for the entire HSUHK community through innovative pedagogy and transformative education.

Three 2023-24 Teaching Excellence Award recipients, Dr Christine Choy, Assistant Professor at the Department of Art and Design; Mr Ricky Lam, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Accountancy; and Mr Harry Lee, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Supply Chain and Information Management, shared their experience in the section titled “Integrating Technology for Transformative Learning Experiences”.

To commemorate the University’s 45th anniversary and the 10th anniversary of HSUHK’s Teaching Excellence Awards, the University established the “HSUHK Teaching Dedication Recognition” to honour distinguished teachers with over 10 years of service who have achieved an average satisfaction score of 5.0 or above in the Students’ Feedback on Modules and Teaching Questionnaire and have taught at least three classes each academic year from 2014-15 to 2023-24. This year, over 20% of HSUHK’s full-time academic staff were recognised.

Professor Joshua Mok, Provost and Vice-President (Academic and Research), moderated a roundtable forum themed “Innovating Pedagogy: Cultivating Teaching and Learning Excellence for the Next Decade at HSUHK”, with Professor Sam Park, Dean of the School of Business; Professor Scarlet Tso, Dean of the School of Communication; Professor Chan Wai-sum, Dean of the School of Decision Sciences; Dr Paul Fung, Associate Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Science; and Professor Mark Shuttleworth, Dean of the School of Translation and Foreign Languages, to carry out insightful discussions focusing on innovative educational strategies, technology integration, interdisciplinary collaboration, and enhancing global experiences.
