    President and Vice-Chancellor. Members of the Panel comprised Professor Ian
    Michael HOLLIDAY, Vice-President and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Teaching and Learning),
    Professor Grahame Tony BILBOW, Director of the Centre for the Enhancement
    of Teaching and Learning, Mr Matthew Robert PRYOR, recipient of the 2012
    Outstanding Teaching Award, Miss Arika HO Ka Yin, a student representative
    nominated by the Students’ Union and Professor CHNG Huang Hoon, the
    external member. The University is grateful to Professor Chng, Associate Provost
    (Undergraduate Education) of the National University of Singapore, for providing
    expert advice in situ during the final selection process.

    The Panel was deeply impressed by the awardees’ dedication to their students, their
    creative and tireless efforts to make learning enjoyable and challenging, and the
    impact they have made on their students’ learning. The Panel was confident that
    all award recipients will continue to contribute significantly to the enhancement of
    teaching and learning at HKU.

    Dr Michael George BOTELHO

    Faculty of Dentistry

    include the capturing of clinical competency skills assessments or Key
    Skills. These recordings reveal the dialogic exchange of students’ case
    presentation before the skill performance and afterwards during their
    self-evaluation. Students have found these invaluable in preparation
    for the competency test in opening the black box of assessment and
    in highlighting assessment standards through the use of exemplars.
