The Faculty of Education, in support of the University of Hong Kong (HKU)’s initiative to strengthen knowledge exchange, actively engages in knowledge sharing with the public by organising a series of education seminars for teachers and parents since 2010. Past seminars on a wide range of topics, such as information technology, play education, use of voice, creativity, parent-child relationship, early childhood education, bilingual proficiency, etc. were well received by teachers and parents.

The 18th education seminar on “Deepening Children’s Learning with Virtual Reality” will be organised in June 2022. In the seminar, Dr Gary Wong, Assistant Professor of our Faculty, will help parents and teachers foresee the future of learning. Various topics related to e-learning will be explored and examined, including virtual reality (VR) learning, computational thinking and artificial intelligence (AI) education, deeper learning, and “metaverse”.
