Bulletin No. 2, 2016

2 Chinese University Bulletin No. 2, 2016 A Cyber Campus Emerges T he advent of the Internet and mobile technology has brought about tremendous and far-reaching changes in all walks of life including the university campus. Classrooms are not necessarily physical spaces where the teachers ply their trade with the aid of boards, pen and paper. Lectures are no longer only delivered in a tête-à- tête way within the stipulated contact hours. Amid the sea-change, CUHK has remained committed to its mission of providing world-class education by sparing no efforts or resources in formulating e-learning initiatives and strategies and modernizing pedagogies through developing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), blended courses and Small Private Online Courses (SPOCs) in study programmes. It has guided and supported its teaching staff to use the new information technology to better address the learning needs of the digital-savvy generations. In the following pages, we will see how the collective efforts of the university management, its teaching staff and support units have marshalled education@CUHK into the cyber age.
