Step into a world of boundless learning as we took our students on a captivating adventure through the Qualitative Research Methods course, in a collaboration between the University of Hawaii and the School of Continuing Education at Hong Kong Baptist University, this COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) course ran from February to April 2023, igniting students' passion for knowledge through a tapestry of innovative teaching techniques. Under the guidance of Dr. Elaine Tsui, a total of 31 students majoring in psychology and social sciences from our school and 16 students from the University of Hawaii participated in this exchange activity.
The course offered an extraordinary opportunity for students to put theory into practice and independently conduct their research projects. Through online communication with their peers from the University of Hawaii, they seamlessly navigated the vast sea of knowledge. The success of this event is attributed to the active participation and teamwork of the students. Dr. Elaine Tsui believes that through practical activities like this, students can improve their practical abilities, broaden their horizons, and satisfy their curiosity. Over time, students overcame initial concerns about their English proficiency and discovered that English communication was not as challenging as they had imagined. Their engagement in classroom assignments involving virtual equipment was remarkable, as they actively sought guidance from the teacher to refine their research visits.
This extraordinary event not only strengthened academic exchanges between our esteemed institutions, but it also provided a springboard for students to thrive in the face of future academic challenges. These transformative experiences are poised to shape their academic and professional journeys, establishing a rock-solid foundation for ongoing academic exchanges and international cooperation within our school.
Join us on this exhilarating voyage of knowledge as we celebrate the triumphs of our students and embark on a future where learning knows no boundaries. Together, we are forging a path towards academic excellence and shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
