Harnessing the Power of Assessment to Support Pre-service Teachers' Learning and Professional Development Through an Innovative Blended Learning Approach (A+BLe)
Educators in higher education encounter lots of difficulties in maintaining high academic standards and high quality attributes in today's classes with a large number of students with diverse needs. It remains a challenging task for teachers to, on one side, well organize the teaching/learning content so that all students are more likely to actively participate in the learning process, and on the other side, to well assess students’ use of their higher-order/self-directed learning processes (e.g., self-assessment, peer-assessment, use of formative feedback from teachers) to achieve academic success and high quality attributes upon graduation. There is a compelling need to provide a rigorous blended learning approach that can link teaching, both online and offline learning and assessment practices (self-assessment, peer-assessment, and teacher-assessment) in a visible, achievable and sustainable way. The A+BLe approach is expected to also encourage students to not only undertake the learning activities actively, but also tell students and teachers how well the objectives of teaching and learning have been achieved. Based on these concerns, this project aims to provide an innovative and creative blended learning approach (A+BLe) to link teaching, learning, and assessment practices in a visible and systematic way to promote EdUHK students’ multiple learning outcomes that are essential for their professional development.

Developing and Evaluating a Learning Analytics Platform to Support University Teachers for Pedagogical Decision-making in Fostering Reflective Engagement of Students
The project aims to develop a learning analytics platform conducive to data-oriented decision-making; to evaluate the impact of a learning analytics platform on facilitating reflective engagement of students in the learning process; and to evaluate the impact of a learning analytics platform on teachers’ pedagogical decision making. The expected outcomes include a deliverable learning analytics platform, which can help teachers gain a better understanding of students’ learning process, and identify learning issues to predict learning patterns and make corresponding pedagogical decision-making; a higher quality learning-teaching process, which will provide flexible teaching and learning environments where students can control their own learning; the platform will also segregate the learning objects into appropriate segments so as to address the needs of students with different learning styles; a higher degree of engagement in learning with reflection, which will enable students to engage in learning with reflective thinking associated with personal experience and social issues and interact with peers and teachers anytime, anywhere; and a transformation of teachers’ traditional pedagogical practices of summative assessment into formative assessment, which will enable teachers to give students assessment that corresponds to their learning performance (i.e. through statistical report on students’ responses on online quizzes) throughout the learning process. With various tasks and discussions throughout a course, apart from being able to give quality feedback to students, teachers will also have a clear understanding of what students know and do not know during the learning process instead of at the end of a unit of instruction. A deliverable learning analytics platform, pilot test reports, the establishment of a community of practice, analysis of evaluation data and guidelines on the use of the platform are the expected key deliverables of the project. The project dissemination activities include three teacher professional development programs for reporting the design and implementation of the learning analytics platform in the proposed project, two presentations for reporting the development and implementation status of the learning analytics platform and two conference presentations for disseminating the effects of a learning analytics platform on supporting university teachers for pedagogical decision-making in fostering reflective engagement of students.

The Blended & Online Learning & Teaching (BOLT) Project: Collaborative professional development for capacity building in blended and online learning and teaching in Hong Kong
Professional development for tertiary teaching in Hong Kong is conducted in many different ways. Each institute of higher education has its own approaches, provisions and requirements, and varied resources to address this issue. In most of Hong Kong’s universities resources for supporting professional development for teachers on blended and online learning are limited and ad hoc in approach, with funding for such work competing against many other priorities. To address the apparent gap in consistent professional development provision in relation to online and blended learning and teaching, this project proposes a common foundation course open to all collaborating partners, and a range of other activities through which collaborating partners will build-on and share resources in different ways.

By taking a coherent and coordinated approach to address a complex educational challenge, the project benefits staff and students of all collaborating partners. A greater range of activities can be offered than any one institution could provide alone, and all benefit from sharing varied approaches and considering different priorities and contexts. At the same time each partner is able to address their own institutional needs.

The overall aim of this project is to provide a graduated professional development support experience across all participating UGC funded institutions to facilitate the development of teachers’ skills in online and blended teaching. Coordinating this effort across institutions and conducting in a blended mode will:
a) encourage consistency and quality through good practices and broad evaluation
b) add authenticity through offering blended professional development experiences to teachers located in different institutions
c) allow the pooling of professional development staff and resources for the benefit of all.

The project involves five institutions (PolyU, HKIEd, HKBU, HKU and HKUST) who will work collaboratively towards the overall aim of the project, whilst further developing strategies and initiatives that contextualise and address their own institutional needs.

The collaboration between EDC in PolyU and academic staff in the Faculty of Education and Human Development in HKIEd provides a strong foundation for this project. It signifies the importance and synery between professional development activities in elearning, and its direction connection to learning and teaching delivered by academic staff in faculties. PolyU will provide a top-down approach through a formal professional development foundation course while HKIEd will provide a bottom-up approach via the formation of learning communities within academic faculties. Combining both these perspectives within one overall project provides valuable benefits and greater impact to advance blended learning within the sector.

Multimodal Stories for Language and Cultural Exchange
This project initiates sustainable linkages between universities and schools in Perth, Guilin and Shanghai for the purpose of advancing communication and mutual understanding between Chinese and Australian lower secondary aged students.

This is achieved through the design and implementation of a mechanism for the exchange of multimodal e-books created by school students in these three locations. Employing mobile technologies, students will exchange multimodal e-books to assist each other in learning about each other's language and culture.

Staff from The University of Western Australia, the Hong Kong Institute of Education and East China Normal University recruit two participating schools in each location. Students and teachers in each school work with academic staff to create multimodal stories using a range of technologies, including Web 2.0 and mobile technologies such as tablet computers and smartphones. Multimodal stories are based on traditional tales of the countries concerned as well as traditional tales with a modern twist, which will include images of modern settings. Stories are written and/or narrated in the two target languages - English and Mandarin Chinese.

The objectives of this project are:
1) This project initiates sustainable linkages between universities and schools in Perth, Hong Kong and Beijing for the purpose of advancing communication and mutual understanding between Chinese and Australian lower secondary aged students.
2) This project identifies enablers and barriers in setting up such linkages/programs to inform other schools and universities who may wish to set up such programs.
3) This project results in a repository of bi-lingual culturally informative e-books for schools, teachers and students participating in the project to use in the future.

Developing a Framework of Procedural Knowledge Development for Classroom Teaching and Proposing its Application to Teacher Education
The project aims to study how exemplary teachers enact teaching in classroom, to inquire on how exemplary teachers conceptualize specific classroom situations and what are the situated cognition and action expert teachers enact in classroom. The construct of study is based upon a combination of terms in the literature which includes “knowledge-in-action” (Dewey, 1974), “practical knowledge-in-action (Van Manen, 2008), and “procedural knowledge” and “declarative knowledge” and 'situated cognition" in social cognition research (Wyer & Srull, 1994). The pilot study attempts to explore the methodology and pilot test the feasibility of the study in smaller scale. Field studies on four secondary school teachers who teach Chinese Language, English Language, Mathematics and Liberal Studies were initiated in a school. The methods of study include lesson observation, stimulated recall interview, post-lesson reflective record and survey of sample teacher and researchers. A total of thirteen classes were observed with an average of three lessons being observed for each teacher on a class in junior forms. The data analysis follows the rules of grounded theory; a protocol has been built upon multiple sources of data which has resulted to a tentative system of teaching actions in practice. The project outputs include a series of teaching episodes to demonstrate procedural knowledge of teachers. A study will be further conducted at the next stage to inform how the findings can be used in professional teacher training.

Information and Communication Technologies in Teacher Education: Capacity Building of Asian Teacher Education Institutions
In the face of globally rapid technological and economic developments, teacher education institutions (TEIs) in Asia are challenged to prepare teachers who are open to new ideas, open to new practices and information and communication technologies (ICT). The pre-service teacher education programs in these institutions play a crucial role in preparing such quality teachers for schools during their apprenticeship phase. In such a background, this project aims to:
(1)Examine and document good practices of integrating ICT in pre-service teacher education programs in Southeast Asia;(2)Compare the socio-cultural contexts of different TEIs; and(3)Examine the support mechanisms for ICT in teacher education in these TEIs.
The key findings of this project would inform the development and implementation of a toolkit that builds the capacity of Asian TEIs to support ICT in teacher education. This toolkit may include a conceptual framework that is made up of the strategic dimensions and their supporting resources (case studies with exemplars, videos of interviews and classroom/program activities, strategic planning templates, and course and program outlines). An online learning community may then be set up to support the use of the toolkit first among the selected TEIs and eventually, other TEIs in the eight countries and beyond.
