The First Assembly of IHERD Fellows was successfully held on 22 December 2023. With the honourable presence of Prof TENG Jin-Guang, President of PolyU, and Prof WONG Kwok-yin, Vice President (Education) of PolyU, the event brought more than 20 IHERD fellows together who actively engaged in sharing their ideas and sought ways to advance teaching and learning. The participating fellows welcomed and supported the proposal to form small research groups as a way to inspire research collaborations and develop relationships between faculty of different disciplines.
The passionate exchange of ideas continued more casually while members of the First Assembly enjoyed lunch at Ju Yin House. The event was concluded with a joyful remark and a vote of thanks for Ir Prof Arthur F.T. MAK, who made contributions as Interim Director of IHERD and of Educational Research Centre (ERC) for almost a year.
The Assembly is a regular gathering of all IHERD Fellows to discuss teaching and learning issues and to suggest possible directions of improvement or policy changes that would potentially benefit colleagues and students at least in the University.
It is the hope of IHERD that more colleagues of the University would be interested in joining forces in the continuous improvement of teaching and learning by contributing as a member of IHERD Fellows. Application for IHERD Fellows is open all year round. For details, please refer to https://www.polyu.edu.hk/iherd/people/iherd-fellows/.
