A circular process of ‘teaching-led research’ and ‘research-informed practice’

We reflected on how the development and dissemination of our projects have informed learning, teaching and educational management in the school and higher education sectors. Dr Lam’s presentation described the processes and outcomes of Active Classroom - an online platform (http://www.ied.edu.hk/aclass/) that disseminates the research-based, pilot-tested teaching materials and innovative pedagogical outputs created by school and university teachers. The presentation shared several targets that AClass has achieved, the evaluation outcomes, and extended outputs that demonstrate its impact on knowledge transfer and the building of a virtual learning community.
