Scale Out Teaching, Scale Up Learning: Professional development for e-teaching/learning

Abstract

Advances in technology is revolutionizing the way we think and behave. As young digital natives come with a new way of learning, we, as educators, need to approach education from a new angle. In order to assist teachers with the transition from traditional teaching to engaging online teaching, Technology-Enriched Learning Initiative (TELI) in The University of Hong Kong has designed a blended-learning professional development course titled, “Interactive Online Learning”. In this paper, we describe how we used blended learning and learning analytics to foster engagement and demonstrate possibility and practicality of DIY online teaching.
