Oxford Primary English Outstanding e-Learning Awards Ceremony

To further promote the adoption of e-learning in classrooms and to build an effective support network to share e-learning teaching strategies among local primary schools, Oxford University Press has partnered with the University of Hong Kong's e-learning Development Laboratory to hold the2016-17 Oxford Primary English Outstanding e-Learning Awards. The awards received tremendous support from local primary and secondary schools with twice as many entries as last year. The awards ceremony was held at the University of Hong Kong on 23 June 2017.
 
After opening remarks by Dr Wilton Fok, Director of the University of Hong Kong’s e-Learning Development Laboratory and Ms Mei Mei Ng, Managing Director of Oxford University Press (China), awards were given to the winners of the four categories ‘Mobile Outdoor Learning’, ‘Primary English’, ‘STEM and Coding’ and ‘General e-Learning Application’. The winners of the Primary English category were invited to take part in a panel discussion moderated by Dr Paul Sze on ‘Engaging my students in the learning process: How e-learning can help?’. Teachers were of the view that the key to designing e-learning lessons is to maximize student involvement both inside and outside of the classroom.
 
The Primary English award winner, Ms Law Mei Tung Lilian from Yaumati Catholic Primary School (Hoi Wang Road), won a two-week summer exchange programme at Oxford University with her e-learning lesson ‘Shopping is fun’. Ms Law uses multimodal elements and mobile-outdoor learning to engage students in authentic situations where students apply shopping vocabulary and practice writing numbers.
