The Staff Development Committee (SDC), Human Resources Office (HRO) and Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) jointly organised a two-day Induction Programme for new academic staff on 19 and 26 August.

In the morning session of the first day of the Induction Programme, President Simon S M Ho delivered a speech on the positioning and role of HSUHK in higher education in Hong Kong. Professor Y V Hui, Acting Provost and Vice-President (Academic and Research) and Dr Tom Fong, Vice-President (Organisational Development) then shared information on teaching, research and student learning at HSUHK.

A series of forum and workshops were also held in the two-day induction programme, which included “Teaching and Learning with Emerging Technologies”, “Forum on Creating a Welcoming, Positive and Productive Learning Environment”, “Outcome-based Teaching and Learning (OBTL) and Criterion-Referenced Assessment” and “Learning Programme Accreditation and Quality Assurance”.

Positive feedback was received from the participants who found the Induction Programme informative, enabling them a better understanding of HSUHK’s teaching and learning.
