Message from Professor Ian Holliday, Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Teaching & Learning)

Dear Colleagues,

Staff Teaching Space Experience Survey – 2018

IT Services will be conducting an online Teaching Space Experience Survey on behalf of the University for three weeks, commencing on Wednesday 2nd May and closing at 5pm on Friday 25th May 2018.

The purpose of this survey is to gather information about your experience and perceptions of the classroom environments that you use to deliver your lectures and seminars etc. in order to find out what you think is important and any issues to be addressed.

Your opinions are valuable to us and this information will help us understand how we can provide better facilities to support your teaching. A separate survey investigating the student learning environment experience has been undertaken.

The results of this survey will be used to inform the University Strategy for future development of Teaching and Learning Spaces over the coming planning period (2-3 years) to ensure that space provided for teaching and learning is fit for purpose and of good quality in order to enhance the student learning experience.

You can access the survey through this link:

If you have any questions or queries about this survey please contact Mrs Toni Kelly, Associate Director (Learning Environments), at tkelly@hku.hk.

With best wishes

Professor Ian Holliday
