Tech Camp Workshops
Apart from providing regular workshops on standard eLearning tools used at HKUST, CELT also recommends other innovative tools which we see a pedagogical value in it from time to time. The recommendations will come in the form of a theme-based Tech Camp series.
Target audiences for this Tech Camp series are faculty and teaching staff. You will be informed via email and this website when a Tech Camp workshop is available.
