The Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) successfully organised the second HSUHK Teaching and Learning Forum on 25 May 2021. The Forum themed ‘Let’s Create a BRAINstorm in a Teacup: Dialogues with Different Educators’ served as a cross-institutional platform for educators to share the best practices and the most updated experience of teaching and learning for the promotion of teaching excellence. Following the first Forum in 2019, the number of speakers tripled to 18 at the second Forum, featuring 10 recipients of the HSUHK Teaching Excellence Awards of 2018/19 and 2019/20 and 8 distinguished scholars from a wide range of local tertiary institutions. In the new normal of online teaching, it was CTL’s first-time endeavour to host the HSUHK Teaching and Learning Forum in mixed mode.

President Simon Ho gave a welcoming and opening address at the Opening Ceremony. Professor Y V Hui, Acting Provost and Vice-President (Academic and Research), welcomed and presented souvenirs to the external guest speakers.

The 18 speakers conversed in pairs at the 3 Parallel Sessions covering topics of teaching business, languages, philosophy, social science, quality management, and online teaching in the new normal. Professor Bradley Barnes, Dean of the School of Business; Professor Kwok-kan Tam, Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Science; and Dr Eva Hung, Associate Head of the Department of Social Science, gave warm introductory remarks for the 3 Parallel Sessions respectively. The on-campus Forum with live broadcast was well attended by more than 70 participants, including colleagues and educators from many other higher education institutions. Besides having dialogues with each other, our excellent teachers and the guests also had plenty opportunities to exchange views with the participants.
