    On May 18-19, 2015, The University of Hong Kong will host a meeting of leaders in Asian online higher education. Our goal is to survey pedagogical innovations and influential e-learning initiatives currently taking shape in the greater China region, Japan, and Singapore. We wish to engage in frank discussions of recent breakthroughs, common challenges, and directions to move forward with our partners in Asia. There will be opportunities for participants to meet in private sessions (with each other, or with HKU faculty members) to discuss collaboration opportunities.
