Description

An increasing number of business teachers in Hong Kong adopt e-learning resources to enhance their pedagogy and teaching content. However, students rarely uptake these resources for learning. A main reason for the discrepancy in the use of e-learning resources between teachers and students is that most teachers lack professional training and experience in developing comprehensive e-learning resources for teaching business subjects. Theoretically, little research to date has investigated the effects of hybrid, technologically flexible delivery initiatives on learning outcomes, which is particularly the case in the fields of accounting.

The current project adopts a professional learning community approach to assist teacher professional training and collaboration as well as to address the theoretical void. It aims to develop a cross-school adaptive blended learning platform where teachers can tripartitely work with EdUHK professionals and teachers in the Hong Kong Association for Business Teachers (HKABE) to develop blended learning materials for various business topics that support student learning and even enable student’ self-study.
