A Finale to the Myanmar Month
Political reform started to sweep Myanmar in 2011, when a long-standing military junta handed power to an elected civilian government. While many big issues still need to be confronted, the country is visibly changing as people become more free. This exhibition provides one set of perspectives on Myanmar in reform by presenting paintings by about twenty artists. Together, they help generate a fuller understanding of a nation that for decades has had only limited contact with the wider world.

Invitation to attend CITE Research Symposium 2015
You are invited to participate in the CITE Research Symposium (CITERS 2015) on 29-30 May 2015 (Friday & Saturday) at The University of Hong Kong. This year’s CITERS is organized by the Centre for Information Technology in Education of the University of Hong Kong (CITE), in collaboration with Centre for Advancement in Inclusive and Special Education (CAISE), Centre for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL), the Libraries of the University of Hong Kong and HKU SPACE. The goal of the symposium is to discuss recent research, share good educational practices, and new technologies, with a view to furthering research and practice that support learning with IT. It also provides a platform for the presentation and sharing of outcomes from research and development work conducted by practitioners and researchers to advance our knowledge and understanding of the many issues related to technology-supported learning and teaching.
There are four sub-themes, which are (1) Cyber worldness and Cyber worldliness; (2) Designing and assessing learning; (3) The future of open learning; (4) Emerging pedagogies and technologies. The symposium will feature sessions on a broad range of topics related to the Symposium theme and subthemes. In addition to invited speakers and paper presentations, there will also be experience sharing panels, hands-on demonstrations and discussion forums. Symposium activities are organized as a two-day event. On each day, there will be keynote addresses and parallel sessions on e-Learning, including introductions to CITE projects that focus on various areas such as self-directed learning (SDL) in the Science KLA, e-Learning implementation in schools.
CITERS 2015 is designed to be of interest and relevance to academics and research students in tertiary institutions, school principals and teachers from local and international schools, school administrators, librarians, government officials, publishers of educational resources and e-Learning related industries, and interested members of the community.

Message from Professor Ian Holliday, Vice-President and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Teaching and Learning)
Dear Colleagues and Students,
I am pleased to inform you that at its March 3, 2015 meeting, the Senate approved a “University Assessment Policy” and a policy on “Credit Transfer for Student Exchange”. The former articulates the institutional assessment policy and guides assessment practices in respect of undergraduate and taught postgraduate curricula; the latter outlines the principles for credit transfer for undergraduate student exchange, in connection with which corresponding adjustments have been made to the University’s “Credit Accumulation and Transfer Policy” (vide paragraph 17 and Annex II thereof). Both the “University Assessment Policy” and the “Credit Accumulation and Transfer Policy” are accessible at: http://www.cdqa.hku.hk/guidelines-and-forms.php.
Any questions relating to these policies may be addressed to Rebecca Ching, Head of the Curriculum Development and Quality Assurance Section, Registry (e-mail: recleung@hku.hk) or Jennifer Wong of her Office (e-mail: jsmwong@hku.hk) in the first instance.
Professor Ian Holliday
