Abstract:
The Blended & Online Learning & Teaching (BOLT) Project is a UGC-funded collaboration in which participating Hong Kong tertiary institutions look at developing online teaching and learning in Hong Kong. The project includes multiple different approaches, ranging from initiatives within a particular institution – such as The Education University of Hong Kong’s grassroots approach to developing blended learning in a faculty, and Baptist University’s Faculty Professional Development Series of workshops – to more central elements, such as the BOLT foundation course, led by Hong Kong Polytechnic University and open to teachers from all participating universities.
In this seminar, Professor Lim Cher Ping and Mr Darren Harbutt will lead presentations on the BOLT Project so far, sharing success stories, reporting on upcoming events and offering an opportunity to engage in discussion about blended learning in a Hong Kong context. Dr Veronika Schoeb will present her experiences on implementing blended learning and David Watson will discuss CMALT (Certified Member of Association for Learning) Technology Professional Development.
