Promoting a Dynamic Pedagogical Model of Asynchronous and Synchronous Virtual Teaching and Learning to Enrich Students’ Virtual Learning Experiences Having meticulously considered the situation of the COVID-19 in Hong Kong, the EdUHK has been conducting Virtual Teaching and Learning (VTL) since 2020 spring. Most lecturers deliver lectures synchronously using Zoom and assist students’ asynchronous learning through sharing materials on Moodle and other online platforms and conducting online learning activities. A range of measures have been taken to help teachers and students cope with the challenges and problems, for example, developing Zoom tutorial videos and conducting online workshops, seminars, and sharing sessions to introduce and explain useful approaches to effective VTL. However, many teachers may feel overwhelmed by the large amount of resources and do not know exactly how to apply these strategies or methods in their lessons. Thus, it is necessary to provide them with a pedagogical model, which is easy to follow, conducive to effective VTL, and can be adapted to meet diverse teachers’ and students’ needs. In response to this call, we propose a dynamic pedagogical model that synthesizes and balances asynchronous and synchronous VTL (AS-VTL). To establish and promote this pedagogical model in Faculty of Humanities (FHM), we aim to develop a series of innovative virtual learning resources and implement the AS-VTL pedagogical model in a range of FHM courses across all the five departments/units in FHM. We will also establish a community of practice (CoP) for the wider adaptation of the AS-VTL pedagogical model in FHM, and indeed, in the EdUHK and beyond.

Promoting blended and online teaching in FHM to enhance students’ learning: Increasing readiness, resources, innovation and effectiveness In keeping with the intense shift toward adopting blended learning, including especially online teaching pedagogies, at universities world-wide, this project will provide a platform for the development of online teaching effectiveness among the academic and teaching staff of FHM. In this project, staff members will try-out blended and online teaching approaches developed on the TPACK and TIM frameworks (Herring, Koehler & Mishra, 2012) in order to produce models-in-context of effective blended teaching and learning practices. This experience and these models will, in turn, provide the basis of a professional development package available to all FHM colleagues via a purpose-built project website.

Facilitating Theme-based Vocabulary Learning by Neural Topic Modeling based on Completely Random Measures In this interdisciplinary project, we will exploit the topics identified by our proposed neural topic models (NTMs) for theme-based vocabulary learning. The topics and relevant documents identified through NTMs will assist teachers to easily organize and produce appropriate learning materials for vocabulary learners. Drawing on the proposed models, a vocabulary learning framework will be developed to support students in learning theme-based vocabulary.

Language Enhancement at EdUHK and Beyond: Fostering a Community of Practice on Technology-enhanced Language Learning and Teaching This project intends to achieve the following objectives: 1). Identify creative and effective use of technologies in language learning and teaching (English / Cantonese / Putonghua / other modern languages); 2). Investigate how such technologies help to enhance students’ language learning and teachers’ language teaching through guided self-reflection and critical evaluations of their technology-enhanced language learning/teaching practices; 3). Build a Community of Practice on technology-enhanced language learning and teaching among tertiary students and academic/teaching staff and motivate them to use technologies in language learning and teaching; 4). Discuss language learning related issues (e.g., English/Chinese academic writing, corpus-based language learning, etc.) and offer pedagogical suggestions on technology-enhanced language learning and teaching for both students and teachers; 5). Sustain the community members’ interests in using technologies in language learning and teaching through regular sharing of members’ successful experiences and invited talks given by local and overseas experts in the field of technology enhanced language learning and teaching, and through the organization of an international conference on technology-enhanced language learning and teaching.
