Promotion and Integration of Virtual Teaching and Learning (VTL)
in Field Experience
VTL Resources Repository
Virtual Teaching and Learning (VTL) Resources Repository
Project Aims
BP involves three teaching modes, namely: (a) simulated mode of teaching; (b) virtual mode of teaching; and (c) authentic mode of classroom teaching. To support students in conducting virtual mode of teaching, the School Partnership and Field Experience Office (SPFEO) has promoted the integration of Virtual Teaching and Learning (VTL) into BP through the project “Promotion and Integration of Virtual Teaching and Learning in Field Experience”.
The project aims to:
promote the integration of VTL into BP;
strengthen students’ ability in adopting VTL pedagogy into BP;
empower students to become self-regulated, self-directed, and self-paced learners in VTL;
enhance the connection among local primary and secondary schools, in-service and pre-service teachers by sharing good practices in VTL; and
foster the collaboration between EdUHK and schools.
This VTL Resources Repository serves as a platform for one-stop-shop access to all project deliverables, including exemplary teaching videos, award-winning teaching videos of excellent e-Teaching Student Awards, and video records of the practice seminars for students' and teachers' reference.
1) VTL Exemplary Teaching Videos
The SPFEO has invited excellent in-service teachers of primary and secondary schools to produce VTL Exemplary Teaching Videos on the effective use of VTL in BP. Most presenters are awardees of the Innovative Teaching Award and have good practices of VTL in the local school context to share.
2) Excellent e-Teaching Student Award
Excellent e-Teaching Student Award was offered to student teachers to recognise the good practice of VTL videos twice a year. All Faculty Deans, Heads of Departments, Programme Leaders, Field Experience Coordinators, Field Experience Supervisors and Director of School Partnership and Field Experience (SPFE) can nominate excellent e-teaching videos to participate in the Award. All valid nominations went through a stringent selection process by a Selection Panel. The award-winning videos are expected to meet the following three criteria:
Effective use of pedagogical content knowledge to inspire students and demonstration of superior e-teaching and learning environment acumen;
Effective e-teaching tools to enhance students' learning experience; and
Demonstration of teaching innovations.
3) VTL Practice Seminars
The VTL Practice Seminars were organised to share distinguished VTL ideas with pre-service teachers and the local community. School principals, vice-principals, in-service teachers, Field Experience Coordinators (FECs), Professional FE Tutors and pre-service teachers were invited to speak at the practice seminars. The following themes of the seminars were proposed to enrich students’ FE experience and strengthen their self-reflection ability:
Effective use of VTL to promote pupils’ engagement and interaction in BP;
Using VTL to support the achievement of FE Intended Learning Outcomes (FEILOs) and Graduate Attributes of Professional Excellence, Ethical Responsibility and Innovation (PEER&I); and
Assessment strategies for VTL in BP.
