Eight Hong Kong universities are in line for grants totalling HK$165 million (US$21.3 million) aimed at developing better virtual teaching methods, which are anticipated to become part of the “new normal” in coming years.
Online teaching was widely adopted amid the coronavirus pandemic as schools suspended face-to-face classes for months at a time to avoid infections. Universities will continue to make use of virtual methods to enhance teaching and learning even after the pandemic ended
The additional HK$165 million would be allocated to the eight universities funded by the committee to facilitate more systematic collaboration to promote the strategic development of virtual teaching and learning.
