Designing and Implementing Competency-based Curriculum
Overview:
If we consistently track student progress on core competencies across courses and over time, students are encouraged to transfer what they learn and use it in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, this helps students meet the goal of education - to take the knowledge they learn in the classroom and apply it throughout their lives. Competency-based curriculum design requires intentional planning and careful attention to the logistics of implementation. Designers should carefully choose learning outcomes that explicitly address aspects of the core competencies.

Preparing for Teaching & Learning at HKUST
Overview:
This program is for HKUST teaching support staff (e.g. Instructional Assistant; Teaching Associate) who are engaged in teaching-related activities, such as small-group teaching and/or marking students’ work.
For new teaching support staff, this session helps you understand how learning works, what pedagogical practices and assessment methods are effective in enhancing students’ learning. For experienced staff, it helps you troubleshoot problems and make your teaching approaches even more effective.
