Project Summary

Course-based research empowers students in both knowledge generation and in taking responsibility for learning (Harland and Wald, 2018). With this in mind, this website was designed to help build the capacity of research-informed teaching and learning through the sharing of instructors at HKBU and other universities implementing undergraduate research design. It also documents some of the students’ learning journeys regarding their experience of course-based research.

This project was fully funded by UGC’s Special Grant for Strategic Development of Virtual Teaching and Learning, Project title: Building the Capacity of Research-Informed Teaching and Learning in the Virtual Teaching & Learning Context, 2021-22.
