HKU moved all classes online at the end of January, weeks or months ahead of universities in other parts of the world. What have we done to conduct teaching and learning in virtual space? What are the challenges in maintaining the quality of students’ learning experiences? What are we doing to prepare for the reopening of the physical campus? These are some of the questions we wish to explore.
