Assessment and eLearning in United College General Education – An Experience Sharing

Assessment and eLearning in United College General Education – An Experience Sharing

Date: 28 November 2012 (Wednesday)
Speaker:
Prof. Kwan Hoi Shan (United College Dean of General Education)
Prof. Eunice Tang     (Project In-charge, United College eLearning Project Team)
Mr. George Lam    (United College General Education Office)

It’s been a challenge for the College General Education in the recent few years, going through the UGC’s programme review and internal light review, consolidating the elements of outcomes-based approaches and quality assurance mechanism, and preparing for the new 3+3+4 curriculum and the double-cohort year in 2012-13.

The sharing began with an overview of the challenges and development of the United College General Education Programme since 2008, followed by actions and work done in responding to those challenges.  Special focuses are on the development of assessment mechanism and online teaching and learning materials for the capstone course of “GEUC4011 Senior Seminar”. Lastly, tailor-made eLearning tool for enhancing large class communication will be covered – development of a mobile app named “UC GEAR” for the freshmen course “GEUC1011 University Life and Learning”.

The experience could be useful for sister Colleges and other units offering similar courses with large class size.
