Bulletin No. 2, 2016

From Cyber to Hyper 25 Into a Hyper Learning Site Starting from the first MOOC launched in Canada in 2008, the digital landscape of higher education has been redrawn on an unprecedented scale. The ‘flipped classroom’ is no longer a buzzword: students can prepare for lectures by accessing online materials at their convenience, and teachers can integrate face-to-face instruction with online micro-modules and interactive class-time enabled by real-time assessment functions with smart gadgets. The MOOC platforms have presented the rich intellectual quarry at CUHK on literally the world stage. Enabled by policy guidelines and buttressed by infrastructural investments, teams of teachers and researchers from, among others, Medicine, Business, Education and General Education have pioneered substantial changes in the content and format of teaching and learning. The momentum has not paused or slowed but has accelerated to make ours one of the most hyperactive campuses in e-learning. CUHK is ready to ride the tide and continue to deliver top-quality education to its own students as well as many more in cyberspace.
