Title: | OBTL and Teaching & Learning @HKBU | |
Facilitators: | Dr Stella LAI (GEO) and Dr Lisa LAW (CHTL) | |
Abstract: | With the full adoption of Outcomes-based Teaching and Learning (OBTL), teaching and learning at HKBU emphasises the creation of a more learning-centered environment and the provision of timely feedback in motivating students to study at a high standard. Hence the use of engaging teaching and learning activities (TLAs) coupled with appropriate formative and summative assessment methods (AMs) constructively aligned to the learning outcomes is the underlying principle of OBTL. This session primarily aims to (1) explain the teaching and learning culture of HKBU and the implementation process of OBTL, (2) introduce various pedagogical, assessment methods and the new General Education (GE) structure. |

Title: | Moving Beyond the Generic Research Essay: Creating Contexts for Better Learning | ![]() |
Facilitators: | Prof Paul Hanstedt | |
Abstract: | Even the best curricular models fail if faculty are assigning the same old standard research papers and asking the same old exam questions. This workshop will provide participants the opportunity to explore alternative approaches to assessing student writing (and other kinds of projects and work) in general education courses. More particularly, this hands-on workshop will use an epistemology developed by Danieliwizc and Jack to examine the benefits of “real-world” writing and non-academic audiences. Participants will explore alternative audiences, genres, and project designs that place their students in positions of greater authority, fostering greater student ownership of the course material and their own learning—all while providing instructors and programmes with robust assessment data. | |
Biography: | Paul Hanstedt is a Professor of English at Roanoke College, where he directed the revision of a campus-wide general education programme, coordinates the college’s e-portfolio system, and is currently designing a Teaching Collaborative. He is the recipient of several teaching awards, including a 2013 State Council for Higher Education in Virginia Outstanding Faculty Award and the 2014 CASE-Carnegie Virginia Professor of the Year Award. He received a Fulbright to aid curricular revision in Hong Kong, and authored General Education Essentials, a faculty introduction to current trends in liberal education. His next book, Creating Wicked Students, will be published in January 2018. | |

Title: | Outcomes-Based Teaching and Learning (OBTL) and Assessment @ HKBU |
Facilitators: | CHTL Colleagues |
Abstract: | HKBU is renowned for its dedication in providing a holistic education experience for its students. This is in line with university’s goal of becoming the region’s premier liberal arts university. With the full adoption of Outcomes-based Teaching and Learning (OBTL), teaching and learning at HKBU emphasises the creation of a more learning-centered environment, characterised with the use of engaging pedagogies to encourage students’ active participation, and the provision of timely feedback in motivating them to study at a high standard. Empirical studies informed us that “assessment drives student learning”. Hence the use of engaging teaching and learning activities (TLAs) coupled with appropriate formative and summative assessment methods (AMs) constructively aligned to the learning outcomes is the underlying principle of OBTL which must be enacted within and outside the classroom to help students achieve the learning outcomes.
This Session primarily aims to (1) explain the teaching and learning culture of HKBU and the implementation process of OBTL, (2) introduce various pedagogical and assessment options, (3) explain the importance of Criterion-Referenced Assessment (CRA) approach in OBTL, and (4) demonstrate the use of rubrics to evaluate student works. |

Facilitator/s: | Dr. Theresa Kwong (CHTL)
Dr. K Chong (CHTL) |
||
Guest Facilitator/s: | Professor Albert Lee (SAO)
|
||
Abstract: | To effectively choose teaching methods and foster motivation to learn within a classroom, we must know something about our audience. Your students will come from very diverse backgrounds and they may have different learning needs. Knowing both who your students are and how they learn is the starting point for teaching at its best. It also helps to find out how to motivate your students to learn and what you can do to structure a class (e.g. refining lectures, teaching and learning activities, and providing formative feedback, etc.) which engages your students in learning.
In this session, we will share with you HKBU’s student profiles, which include students’ level of academic preparation and achievement, socioeconomic background, parental education background, employment statistics, etc. We will also explore certain well researched principles about how student learn and strategies for fostering student motivation in learning. |

Facilitator/s: | Dr. Eva Wong (CHTL)
Mr. Samson Ng (CHTL) |
||
Guest Facilitator/s: | Mr. Chris Chan (LIB) | ||
Abstract: | Generation Y students are known as “digital natives”, so using technology to motivate them to learn or help them learn more effectively has become part and parcel of teaching and learning today. At HKBU, the Moodle platform has been in use for some time. To better assist colleagues to collect evidence showing students’ achievement of learning outcomes, the Blackboard platform is newly launched for parallel running allowing for a smooth transition. In this session, we shall showcase the various tools and features on our eLearning platforms and explore how they can be used and leveraged as effective tools in creating a conducive environment to assist teaching and learning. Participants are encouraged to bring their own computers and mobile (e.g. iOS, Android, and Blackberry) devices. | ||
