Message from Curriculum Development and Quality Assurance Section of the Registry

Further to the circular from the Vice-President and Pro-Vice-Chancellor dated July 6, 2015, this is to remind colleagues and students that nominations are now invited for the University Distinguished Teaching Award (UDTA), the Outstanding Teaching Award (OTA) and the newly introduced Teaching Innovation Award (TIA) under the Teaching Excellence Award Scheme (TEAS) in 2015.

The TEAS aims to recognise, reward and promote excellence in teaching at the University. All Faculties are encouraged to nominate colleagues who have made an outstanding contribution to the leadership and scholarship of Teaching and Learning at both Faculty and University levels for UDTA; colleagues who have demonstrated excellence in teaching and curriculum development for OTA; and those who have demonstrated innovation in pedagogy and/or curriculum design for TIA. Both OTA and TIA comprise individual and team awards, the latter is to recognise and promote collaborative effort and achievement in enhancing Teaching and Learning.

For further details, please refer to the circular at:
