Redesigning Student Learning Experience in Higher Education – HERDSA HK Student Project Report 2024 (ISBN 978-988-71177-0-4) is published by the Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia (Hong Kong Branch). Please download the PDF version here.

We are delighted to announce the return of the HERDSA HK Dinner Dialogue this September 2024, marking our first in-person gathering since the pandemic. This special event is designed to welcome new HERDSA members in Hong Kong and foster a community of shared learning and collaboration.

We are honoured to have Dr. Megan Lawton, Professor of Learning and Teaching in Academic Practice at the University of Wolverhampton, as our guest speaker. Dr. Lawton will share her insightful work on the topic of “Flipping Learning and Teaching.”

Abstract:
The concept of flipped learning and teaching methodologies will be explored by discussing the roles of educators, contrasting traditional teaching (sage on the stage) with a more facilitative approach (guide at the side). The dialogue will emphasise the importance of content curation, highlighting the educator’s role in organising and sharing relevant digital content to enhance learning. Key concepts include the Four Pillars of F-L-I-P™ (Flexible environment, Learning culture, Intentional content, Professional educator) and the design of effective learning exhibitions that engage students and relate to their prior knowledge.
