Development of digital teaching portfolios to build a professional learning community at the HKIEd

Digital teaching portfolio is increasingly used in higher education as a professional learning tool for staff to engage in collaborative capacity building and teaching innovation. This project therefore attempts to draw upon the opportunities offered by digital teaching portfolio to build a professional learning community in the Institute. Through the collection of good teaching practices, exchange of knowledge and ideas, reflection and peer collaboration on teaching and learning, it is hoped that academic and teaching staff can benefit from the synergetic potential of a professional learning community to bring the quality of our teaching and learning to the next level. This session outlines the implementation of the project and showcases examples of digital teaching portfolio at individual and departmental levels. The examples presented will not only substantiate the audience’s understanding of digital teaching portfolio, but more importantly, how digital teaching portfolio can possibly contribute to one’s professional practices and the professional learning community at large.
