Panel Discussion with Program Directors

We have heard so much first hand experience and feedback from students and teachers, so now let’s switch our lens to the curriculum. In this panel discussion, program directors from the four partner institutions’ General Education/ Common Core curriculum will share their perspectives on this initiative. Specifically, what are the lessons learned from this initiative, and how can we scale up blended learning and content sharing?

  • Panelists:
  • Professor Mei Yee Leung, Director of University General Education, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
  • Professor Daniel Shek, Interim Head of Office of General University Requirements, Hong Kong Polytechnic University
  • Professor CC Chang, Academic Director of Common Core Program, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
  • Professor Gray Kochhar-Lindgren, Director of Common Core Curriculum, The University of Hong Kong

Discussion

What think-out-loud ideas do you have for upscaling this project? Can it also be transferred to other disciplines or curricula?

About the Project

The University of Hong Kong (HKU), in collaboration with The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), implements a project “The Responsive University: Appreciating Content Sharing in General Education” which is funded by the University Grants Committee (UGC) Funding Scheme for Teaching and Learning Related Proposals.

The Project aims to create shareable quality course packages (online course vehicles supplemented with intensive face-to-face activities) and experiment a cross-institutional learning system which prepares the higher education sector for development of a transparent and trustworthy credit transfer mechanism. Arising from this joint project, the four institutions enter into an Agreement for Collaboration, under which eligible students in the participating institutions can enrol in one of the eleven designated Common Core / General Education courses respectively offered by other partner institutions.
