Induction Programme 2023

HKBU is renowned for its dedication in providing excellent and holistic education experience for students. Being the top strategic priority of providing “Best Student Experience” in our Institutional Strategic Plan 2018-2028 (http://strategicplan2018-2028.hkbu.edu.hk/en/strategic1.html), Best Student Experience is given top priority, re-emphasising our focus on Whole Person Education.

This Induction Programme is specifically designed for new academic and teaching staff members joining HKBU. The primary objective of the Programme is to help new colleagues get familiar with the learning and teaching environment and culture of HKBU.

Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of the Induction Programme, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe pertinent aspects of the learning and teaching culture at HKBU;
  2. Recognise the characteristics of HKBU students that relate to their learning and deploy appropriate motivational techniques to help students learn more effectively;
  3. Identify the resources (including pedagogical approaches, assessment methods and policies, and eTools) available at HKBU and deploy appropriate ones for the enhancement of teaching and learning.
