Vision
The Centre for Learning, Teaching and Technology (LTTC) is an academic and professional support unit at The Education University of Hong Kong. The Centre supports the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital competency among academic and teaching staff, as well as students. It also promotes innovation in learning and teaching, and the enhancement of assessment at the University. In addition, the Centre supports and coordinates the implementation and evaluation of the University’s “Artificial Intelligence and Digital Competency Strategy”. More broadly, LTTC aims to enhance student learning outcomes by applying digital technology and providing staff professional development to support the innovation of learning, teaching and assessment across the University.
