In past few years, hybrid/online teaching has been used during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this workshop, a 4C model: Content, Collaboration, Community and Communication is presented for hybrid/online teaching. To support the 4C model, various teaching/learning tools and resources can be used such as: presentation slides with annotations, chatbox communication, open educational resources, multiple choice exercises, group exercises, class surveys etc. Good practice and useful experience (e.g., how to handle the aforementioned tools smoothly in a class) will be shared through the workshop.

Teachers, instructors and faculty are facing unprecedented change, with often larger classes, more diverse students, demands from government and employers who want more accountability and the development of graduates who are workforce ready, and above all, we are all having to cope with ever changing technology. To handle change of this nature, teachers and instructors need a base of theory and knowledge that will provide a solid foundation for their teaching, no matter what changes or pressures they face. Although the book contains many practical examples, it is more than a cookbook on how to teach. It addresses the following questions: is the nature of knowledge changing, and how do different views on the nature of knowledge result in different approaches to teaching? what is the science and research that can best help me in my teaching? how do I decide whether my courses should be face-to-face, blended or fully online? what strategies work best when teaching in a technology-rich environment? what methods of teaching are most effective for blended and online classes? how do I make choices among all the available media, whether text, audio, video, computer, or social media, in order to benefit my students and my subject? how do I maintain high quality in my teaching in a rapidly changing learning environment while managing my workload? what are the real possibilities for teaching and learning using MOOCs, OERS, open textbooks? In summary, the book examines the underlying principles that guide effective teaching in an age when everyone, and in particular the students we are teaching, are using technology. A framework and a set of guidelines are suggested for making decisions about your teaching, while understanding that every subject is different, and every teacher and instructor has something unique and special to bring to their teaching. In the end, though, the book isn't really about teachers and instructors, although you are the target group. It's about you helping your students to develop the knowledge and skills they will need in a digital age: not so much digital skills, but the thinking and knowledge that will bring them success. For that to happen, though, your students need you to be on top of your game. This book is your coach.

Within the rapidly expanding field of educational technology, learners and educators must confront a seemingly overwhelming selection of tools designed to deliver and facilitate both online and blended learning. Many of these tools assume that learning is configured and delivered in closed contexts, through learning management systems (LMS). However, while traditional "classroom" learning is by no means obsolete, networked learning is in the ascendant. A foundational method in online and blended education, as well as the most common means of informal and self-directed learning, networked learning is rapidly becoming the dominant mode of teaching as well as learning. In Teaching Crowds, Dron and Anderson introduce a new model for understanding and exploiting the pedagogical potential of Web-based technologies, one that rests on connections — on networks and collectives — rather than on separations. Recognizing that online learning both demands and affords new models of teaching and learning, the authors show how learners can engage with social media platforms to create an unbounded field of emergent connections. These connections empower learners, allowing them to draw from one another's expertise to formulate and fulfill their own educational goals. In an increasingly networked world, developing such skills will, they argue, better prepare students to become self-directed, lifelong learners.

In this seminar we will present statistics related to online teaching during Semester 2 together with student feedback about their experience of online teaching. Analytics relating to usage of Learn@PolyU, uRewind and synchronous platforms such as Bb Collaborate and MS Teams provide a picture of how online teaching was conducted during the suspension of on-campus classes. Combined with student feedback from surveys and via the SFQ, this information is useful for informing teaching improvement and enhancement as well as for seeing what other teachers did online during this period.

In view of rising COVID cases, PolyU has recently required that, in this semester, all on-campus face-to-face invigilated examinations be changed to online alternatives: take-home (durations: days) or online invigilated. In this session, Dr Lilian Pun (LSGI) will discuss how she modified her previous assessment into a take-home exam to assess her students this semester while Ir Dr Wallace Lai will share his journey of changing his exams from closed-book to open-book. Come and join us in this teacher sharing session to learn some tips and be inspired!
