eCitizen Education 360 School Seminar Series (1)

Pressing Need to Enhance Online Learning Preparedness for “New Normal”

A team of researchers from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, based on the initial findings of the “Learning and Assessment for Digital Citizenship” Project, conducted an action focused post-COVID-19 study “eCitizen Education 360”, to find out what are the challenges, wellbeing issues and status of learning outcomes during and after school suspension in primary and secondary schools, support at home, and the most urgent needs and actions after school resumption. The first batch of findings confirmed pre-suspension e-learning preparedness and family support critical for students’ online learning success. Stakeholder responses at the press conference have emphasized that it is imperative to enhance the readiness of schools, students, parents and families, and ensure equitable student learning by closing the digital divide in a rapid transition to the “New Normal” of many uncertainties. With a view to achieving these through joint school and community actions, we cordially invite you to the first school seminar below.
