The Collaborative Hospitality Education Experience & Research (CHEER) Project

​
What we do
This inter-institutional project "Establishing Effective Virtual Teaching Strategies to Support Learning beyond the Classroom" is established under the UGC fund of the Inter-institutional Collaborative Activities for Virtual Teaching and Learning.
​
The project aims to explore, consolidate/develop, implement, document and promote effective virtual teaching and learning (VTL) strategies to enhance and expand learning beyond classroom teaching and learning. To achieve this goal, we will implement three initiatives: (1) To explore and enhance new learning venues such as virtual laboratories and location-based learning, (2) To create new chances to collaborate such as inter-disciplinary and inter-cultural learning as well as virtual student exchange programme on course or programme level, and (3) To explore and enhance new extra-curricular learning such as technology-enhanced service learning and academic advising. The project will interview teachers to collect good practices which can then be dissimilated to the wider teaching and learning communities in higher education.
​
Who we are
The inter-institutional project is led by Prof Paul Lam, Associate Professor of The Centre for Learning Enhancement And Research (CLEAR) at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). The project also involves collaboration with The City University of Hong Kong (CityU), Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).
