Following the successful launch of the first two courses on Special Educational Needs (SEN), we are excited to announce the availability of the third and final course in the SEN series.

This SEN series is a collaborative effort between the Dean of Students Office at HKUST and Hong Kong Baptist University, aiming to equip you with essential knowledge and skills to foster a truly inclusive learning environment for all students.

The rapid evolution of Generative AI continues to reshape the educational landscape. At HKUST, we are dedicated to maintaining quality teaching, upholding academic integrity, and fostering positive learning experiences for our students. To support you in teaching and managing courses effectively in this new AI era, we continue to offer valuable resources. If you haven't yet explored how AI can transform your approach, now is a great time to dive in.

With Mixed Mode teaching, you have the flexibility to interact with your students both in-person and online. You can even invite guest speakers from overseas to bring diversity and enhance your teaching experience. This approach ensures that everyone stays connected and engaged, regardless of their physical location.

Technology has changed the way we live, especially during the pandemic, where we have adopted flexible online teaching methods such as online lectures and assessments. But how can we make the most of these methods? How can we combine them with in-person teaching to maximize their benefits and improve students’ learning outcomes?

Enhancing student learning with an intuitive Learning Management System

Did you know that HKUST uses Canvas as our Learning Management System? If you want to become a Canvas pro before you start teaching here, we have got you covered!

We offer a series of four online self-paced courses to equip you with all the skills and knowledge you need to master Canvas and enhance your students' learning experience.

As we approach the start of a new semester, it is a great time to reflect on our assessment methods and how they can better support our students’ learning. We are excited to invite you to enroll in our new online course ASD-003 Strategies for Effective Assessment Design. This course is designed to provide you with the strategies necessary to create impactful assessments that enhance your teaching practice.

Hope you're having a fantastic summer! We're excited to share some fresh updates and new features coming to Canvas for Fall 2025 that will make your teaching experience smoother and more engaging.
