CiC offers a range of events and workshops aimed at strengthening teachers’ abilities to teach communication literacies and related skills. These include workshops led by HKU faculty or external facilitators, an annual Summer Symposium, monthly Badging Orientation, and interactive teacher sharing sessions. Detailed information about upcoming events is accessible via the Event Calendar.
CiC Workshops
In CiC workshops, internal and/or external speakers are invited to share further insights to benefit faculty teachers.
Annual Symposium
In the early years of the symposium, we focused on helping teachers understand the ethos of our initiative and the importance of developing students’ communication competences. In recent years, we focused on specific literacies development.
Join-the-Conversation Presentations
In our Join-the-conversation events, we give teachers an opportunity to share and hear from other teachers on more specific assessments, strategies, and approaches. Sometimes, students are also invited to share their perspectives.
CiC Badging Orientation
In our monthly CiC Badging Orientations (previously called “Course Design Workshops”) we provide a high-level overview of the initiative and a walk through the badging process for teachers who are new to the process. A badging kit is also provided for teachers to easily badge their courses. This is typically a teacher’s entry-point to the initiative. This metric tells us whether we are continuously reaching new teachers in the pipeline for badging CI-courses.
