Teaching
The criticisms of lecture style teaching can be summarized by a quote attributed to Mark Twain:
• College is a place where a professor’s lecture notes go straight to the student’s lecture notes, without passing through the brains of either.
• How to make teaching and learning more effective?
• Chinese proverb (Xun Zi ):Tell me and I will forget ( ) , Show me and I will remember ( ) , Involve me and I will understand ( ) .
“Improved Learning in a Large-Enrollment Physics Class,” Louis Deslauriers, Ellen Schelew and Carl Wieman, Science (2011).

Blended Learning and MOOC: Introduction to Computing with Java
• Offered as a flipped course in Spring 2014 – The course is divided into two sections of 45 and 65
students.– Students watch online lecture videos and participate in
online quizzes before class.– Classes start with Q&A and then redo some of the online
quizzes. – Students then participate in group discussions and
activities.

• Enable enhanced studio lighting, sound and green screen effect
• Less post production work involved• Practices necessary for teaching in a studio
setting.
• In workshop, lab, off-campus locations like museum or countryside
• For experiments, demos and student interaction
• For creating promo video (MOOC).

Learning Analytics on MOOCs

Extending MOOCs forAsynchronous Flipped
A pilot trial was conducted in Spring/Summer 2014 on the Science of Gastronomy course• Students from HKUST:
– Complete the MOOC in the Spring semester– Take an assessment to confirm participation– Enroll in a face-to-face Summer session and earn
academic credit for the course• A model to use MOOCs for expanding the
international student exchange program
Using MOOCs for Expanding Student Exchange Programs• Participating in international student exchange is a
very valuable learning experience for students• Currently around 40% participating in exchange • Further expansion faces the following constraints:
– Delay in graduation– High cost– Insufficient accommodation for exchange-in students
• Using MOOCs, students can participate in an F2F summer program at an overseas institution to complete the MOOCs for credits
• Faculty exchange is also possible• A pilot is planned for Summer 2015
Chemists Onlinefor Secondary School Students
Chemists Online is a collaborative project between universities and secondary schools (or high schools) in Hong Kong that aims at• nurturing scientific literacy and questioning
skills of students • providing them with exposure to university
education through blended learning

MOOC as a Catalyst for Enhancing Learning Experience
Using our own MOOCs• A basis for developing blended / flipped credit-bearing
courses– A blended learning initiative was launched in 2013 to pilot courses
in different disciplines and levels.
• Using Learning analytics to improve students’ learning experience
– Faculty from different disciplines work together to analyze the MOOC data and develop approaches for improving students’ learning experience.
• Outreaching to prospective undergraduate/graduate students
MOOC as a Platform for Inter-institutional Collaborations
Using MOOC as a platform for inter-institutional collaborations• Expanding student/faculty exchange programs• Packaging MOOCs as components of academic
programs• Translating MOOCs into different languages• Sharing data for learning analytics• Collaborations in education research• Extension of existing practice – e-books, digital
materials in blended / flipped courses
