e-Learning pedagogical consultation
What is e-Learning pedagogical consultation?
Building on our previous TDLEG project entitled “eLearning Pedagogical Support and Consultation” in the 2019-22 triennium, our e-Learning pedagogical consultations provide personalised feedback and advice on virtual teaching and learning to CUHK teachers and promote innovative pedagogical approaches among the wider teaching community. Teachers have benefited from our service as we support them in developing technology-enhanced and evidence-based teaching practices. For example, we suggest ways to encourage dialogue and interaction among teachers and students, as well as among students, using appropriate e-Learning technologies.
