03 On 10 March 2023, HKU SPACE held an opening ceremony at the new Kowloon West Campus. About 100 guests, including members of the School’s Board of Directors, various Committees and the Alumni Council, management and faculty staff, attended and witnessed this historical moment for the School. At the ceremony, Professor Ian Holliday, Chairman of the HKU SPACE Board of Directors, and Professor William K.M. Lee, Director of HKU SPACE, delivered speeches respectively. Professor Ian Holliday mentioned that the School paid great attention to geographical location when looking for suitable places for new campuses - the sites of all learning centres must have convenient transportation links, to be able to meet the needs of different people. “The acquisition of the new campus aims to develop and improve the School’s teaching and learning facilities, and at the same time, to fulfill our core mission of providing lifelong learning opportunities for the community,” he said. Professor William K.M. Lee said, “The new Kowloon West Campus embraces sustainable development in its design concept to ensure that the School will provide a modern campus while fulfilling its corporate environmental responsibility. The new campus is equipped with the most advanced teaching and learning facilities. For example, special rooms are set up to meet the learning needs of wine and coffee tasting in modern society, together with computer labs, providing a more diverse learning environment for full-time and part-time students.” After the ceremony, the guests had lunch together. During the lunch, Ms Susanna Poon, a part-time teacher of the School’s wine programmes and a Champagne Chevalier of the Ordre des Coteaux de Champagne (OCC), was invited to introduce the wine tasting techniques, and gave tips on how to pair red and white wine with different foods; and Mr Keith Tse, a part-time coffee teacher and professional barista who has won the Hong Kong Latte Art Championship several times, performed specialty coffee latte art, and brewed specialty coffee for the guests to taste. These lunchtime events showcased the professionalism and excellent teaching quality of the School’s wine and coffee programmes. The professional skills and knowledge of the two teachers were eye-opening. Everyone was full of praise for their wonderful performance, and the atmosphere was relaxed and lively. Enjoying the amazing aroma of the coffee and wine, people had a great time together.
04 課室設施完備 教學相得益彰 Classrooms are equipped with complete facilities to benefit the School’s teaching ability 新九西分校選址於南商金融創新中心的一個重要因素， 是配合學院可持續發展的方向。南商金融創新中心是 一個綠色建築項目，符合可持續綠色營運模式，有效 提高能源效率和環境管理，先後獲得多個獎項，包括 於 2022 年榮獲 PropertyGuru 亞洲不動產大獎的最 佳寫字樓大獎及綠建環評版本之暫定金級認證等。為 進一步節能減排，學院在辦公室及課室安裝了能源感 應裝置，以減低能源消耗。 學院購入該物業是為長遠教學發展策略之一，並以擴 充教學及學生設施為主要用途。兩層校舍總樓面面積 近 50,000 平方呎，部分利用落地玻璃設計，增加空間 感及採光度，糅合金屬、玻璃及櫸木等不同質感的材 料混合設計而成，帶出高科技的時代感，用色鮮明，極 富現代氣息。設施方面，共有詢問及報名中心、九個不 同面積的課室、一個特別教室、兩個電腦室、三個學生 休息室、教師室、自助電子教學室、醫護室等；部分樓 面面積則劃為辦公室，方便教職員處理日常教學事務。 新校園設施先進完善，為學生提供最佳的學習環境。 新九西分校的落成，讓學院的課室及電腦 /特別室總數 增至 255 間，總樓面面積增至 613,000 平方呎。 To be in line with the School’s sustainable development direction is an important factor in choosing NCB Innovation Centre as the site for the new Kowloon West Campus. NCB Innovation Centre is a green building project - it conforms to sustainable and green operating models, which can effectively improve energy efficiency and environmental management. This project has won many awards, including the Best Office Development (Asia) at the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards in 2022 and BEAM Gold rating etc. In order to further save energy and reduce emissions, the School has also installed energy monitors in the offices and classrooms to reduce energy consumption. The acquisition of the property is part of the School’s long-term development strategy, which is to expand and improve teaching venues and student facilities. The campus extends over two floors and has a total floor area of nearly 50,000 square feet, some of which is designed with floorto-ceiling windows to increase the sense of space and the use of natural light. The design uses a mix of different materials, such as metal, glass, and Zelkova wood, which have different textures, in order to create a high-tech atmosphere. Also, through the use of bright colours, the design delivers strong modern vibes. In terms of facilities, the new Kowloon West Campus has an enrolment centre, 9 classrooms of different sizes, 1 special room, 2 computer labs, 3 student common rooms, a teacher room, a DIY E-Learning room, and a sick room, etc.; some space in the building is designated as offices, convenient for faculty staff to handle daily teaching affairs. The new campus has advanced and complete facilities, providing students with the best learning environment. With the completion of the new Kowloon West Campus, the total number of the School’s classrooms and computer/special rooms is increased to 255, and the gross covered floor area is increased to 613,000 square feet. 九龍西分校隆重開幕 學院再鑄輝煌 The grand opening of Kowloon West Campus begins a new chapter for HKU SPACE
The special room is also equipped with a cleaner room with the latest model of a heat-recycle dish washer to meet the fierce demand of cleaned wine glasses and kitchen utensils. The cleaner room layout meets the heavy demand with an ergonomic design for the health benefits of our staff. The coffee and wine programmes currently offered by the School have all reached the professional level, and have been certified by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) and Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) respectively. Some graduates have already become professional instructors in those fields. The School’s part-time coffee teacher, Mr Keith Tse, is an Authorized Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) Trainer. He holds the ‘Brewing Professional’ and ‘Barista Skills Professional’ from Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), and has won the Hong Kong Latte Art Championship 4 times. Keith loves and enjoys coffee and he wishes to share his knowledge and professional techniques with more like-minded people. The School’s wine teacher, Ms. Susanna Poon, is a Certified WSET Educator. Her passion in wine has led her to various wine qualifications such as Champagne Expert (Distinction), Italian Wine Maestro, and Champagne Chevalier of the Ordre des Coteaux de Champagne (OCC) from its Hong Kong branch. As a former student of the School’s wine programmes, Susanna is now appointed as the judge of Wine Luxe International Awards. Moreover, as part of the Coach Team for the HKU SPACE Wine Team, she led our students to win The Left Bank Bordeaux Cup Blind Tasting Competition at Chateau Lafite in 2019. The Student Common Rooms also have very ingenious designs – the extensive use of glass partitions allows plenty of natural light to penetrate into the interior, creating brighter, more dynamic, lively and energetic space; the adoption of warm tone colours create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere, bringing out a “home sweet home” feeling for the students, and promotes a sense of belonging; the indoor seating arrangement and space can be adjusted flexibly, allowing different types of student activities of different sizes. 學生休息室設計匠心獨運，大量 使用玻璃作為間隔，引進自然光 線，使室內更顯明亮、充滿活力 和生氣；暖色格調營造了溫馨及 輕鬆的氛圍，學生置身其中有如 身處家中般舒適，對學院的歸屬 感更大；室內座位及空間更可靈 活調整，作為舉辦不同類型及規 模學生活動的場地。 In line with the School’s strategy of developing e-learning, the classrooms at the new Kowloon West Campus are featured with the latest technology and equipment to support oncampus and off-campus teaching at the same time; echo-free classrooms are ideal for discussion and Q&A sessions; digital interactive whiteboards are in place to help achieve easy illustration and more efficient teaching; touch interface is available to control audio, video, lighting and the delivery of signals, which can support wireless teaching and presentation. In addition, given the demand and trends in learning wine and coffee tasting in modern society, the new Kowloon West Campus has a special room with an area of 2,000 square feet. The room is specially designed to be a professional-grade “life kitchen” with Arclinea, a famous Italian brand kitchen cabinets. The aesthetics of Arclinea combine the Italian design with better-performing equipment and more sophisticated and durable finishes. It has wine cellars, espresso machines, coffee grinders, ice making machines, glass chiller, cooking stoves, and other advanced equipment, simulating a reallife environment in a café or wine bar. Its interior design adopts simple light and clean tone as backdrop, with dark and metallic tone tables and chairs as highlight for the whole space. The setting of the special room is to complement the School’s plan in developing more food & beverage related programmes. For those who aspire to become professional sommeliers, baristas, or just want to learn dining etiquette and wine & food pairing, learning in such a modern kitchen will definitely help them acquire knowledge and master skills more effectively. 05 為配合學院發展電子學習的策略，新九西校舍的課室裝 置了最新科技設備，可以同時支援即場和遙距教學；零 回音干擾的課室非常適合進行討論及問答環節；互動 式電子白板使教學更有效率；觸控式介面調控音頻、視 訊、照明及訊號傳輸，可支援無線教學示範。 此外，因應現代社會對品酒、品鑑咖啡等學習需求及趨 勢，新九西校舍設有面積2,000平方呎的特別教室，並 打造成專業級的「生活廚房」，採用意大利著名廚櫃品 牌Arclinea的設計，其美學與意大利設計、高性能設備 及精緻耐用的飾面相結合。酒櫃、意式咖啡機、咖啡磨 豆機、製冰機、玻璃製冷器及煮食爐具等先進設備齊 全，儼然就是現實生活中咖啡室及酒吧；以簡約潔淨的 背景色調配襯深沉和金屬顏色的枱椅，點亮了整個空 間。特別教室的設置是配合學院開拓更多與餐飲相關 課程的計劃，對於有志成為專業品酒師、咖啡師或單 純學習用餐禮儀、餐酒與美食搭配的人士，在這個現代 化廚房學習，必能事半而功倍。 特別教室更設有配備最新型熱循環洗碗機的潔淨室， 可滿足清洗酒杯和廚房用具的強大需求。潔淨室的設 計符合人體工學，有助於維持員工的健康。 學院目前開辦的咖啡及品酒課程均達到專業級別，分 別獲得精品咖啡協會及葡萄酒與烈酒教育基金會認 證，有畢業同學已成為專業導師。兼職咖啡導師謝冠 杰是精品咖啡師協會認證的培訓師，擁有「咖啡沖煮專 業資格證書」及「咖啡師技能專業資格證書」，曾四度 贏得香港咖啡拉花大賽冠軍。他熱愛和享受咖啡，希望 將自己的知識和專業技術與志趣相投的人士分享。 品酒導師潘寶賢對餐酒充滿熱忱，是葡萄酒與烈酒 教育基金會認證的導師，獲傑出香檳專家及意大利 葡萄酒大使榮譽及香檳襟章會香港分會授予女騎士 勳章，更是學院品酒課程的舊生，現任酒．派國際葡 萄酒及烈酒大獎賽評委。於2019 年，她更帶領我們 的學生贏得2019年在拉菲酒莊舉行的左岸波爾多 杯盲品比賽。

In the first phase in April this year, the School launched nearly 150 Microcredential courses, covering more than 30 themes, including: Architectural Studies, Artificial Intelligence, Aviation and Business Aviation, Business Management, Chinese Medicine, Finance and Investment, Supply Chain and Logistics, Digital Transformation, Chinese Tea Culture, Medical and Healthcare, and Sustainability, etc. In order to keep pace with changing times and to meet social needs, Microcredential topics will be added gradually, providing learners with more choices. Many of the Microcredentials are CEF eligible so that students can apply for financial support for their tuition fees under the Continuing Education Fund (CEF) of the HK Government. With low learning costs, Microcredentials are suitable for anyone who wants to have career advancement, increase earning potential, upgrade skills, change professions, or even just to have fun and pursue interests. Below are some of the key Microcredentials (certificate for module) that the School will launch soon. More courses can be found at www.hkuspace.hku.hk/microcredentials. Customise your own learning pace and get certified Microcredentials are individualised learning programmes – the contents are skill-based and professionally-oriented, and the study plans can be made based on the student’s personal pace, time and interests. These courses are short and credit-based. Although they do not confer any qualifications themselves, students may accumulate credits from them to earn a certificate or diploma. Microcredentials are an emerging worldwide trend that meet the needs of students in the 21st century. Microcredentials have three main features - stackable credits, high flexibility and personalisation. Through these streamlined short-term courses, students can have more flexible learning models and gradually achieve recognised academic qualifications according to their own plans. Stackable credits: Students may accumulate credits from Microcredentials to earn a certificate or diploma and, depending on the subjects, be awarded the title of Certificate/ Diploma in Professional Practice or Certificate/ Diploma in General Studies. High flexibility: Most Microcredentials are short courses of about 30 contact hours (though a few are longer), usually 6, 9 or 12 credits. These credits are normally valid over a 5-year period. Students can design the learning schedule that suits them best. Personalisation: Students can choose courses that best meet their personal goals, professional needs, and preferences, and create their personal educational mind maps. 專業消閒文化 課程主題涵蓋廣泛 學院一直緊貼教育發展脈搏，為市民開拓終身學習 機會，在本年 4月的首階段推出近 150 個涵蓋超過 30個主題的微證書課程，包括：建築學、人工智 能、航空與商務航空、商業管理、中醫學、金融與 投資、供應鏈與物流、數碼轉型、中國茶文化、醫 療與保健、可持續發展等。為配合時代變遷及社會 需求，微證書課程主題將陸續增加，學習者將有更 多選擇。 許多微證書課程都屬於持續進修基金資助範圍，學 員可向香港特區政府持續進修基金申請發還學費， 學習成本低廉，適合任何希望推進事業發展、增加 賺取收入潛力、提升技能、轉換職業，甚至是純為 尋找樂趣、追求興趣的人士報讀。 以下是學院即將推出的部分重點微證 書課程（證書單元），更多課程可瀏覽 www.hkuspace.hku.hk/microcredentials。 微證書課程誕生 樹立教育新里程

In addition to local awards, the availability of transnational education (TNE) programmes has been important in increasing the variety of offerings and the international recognition of the qualifications awarded. Due to continuous change in the demand for transnational education, the College hosted the second International Conference on Quality and Self-financed Higher Education ‘Connecting Local and Global’ on 11 March 2023, inviting leaders from overseas and local education circles as guest speakers to share their experience of and prospects for transnational education which attracted over 200 participants both physically and virtually across several time zones.

09 Education Board of Directors inaugurated the conference and welcomed ‘all of the participants from different universities, institutions, professions and different parts of the world who are participating to exchange experiences, build capacity and expand their knowledge in the field of self-financed and transnational education’. Experience Sharing from Distinguished Overseas Keynote Speakers Unfortunately, the Former Head of Higher Education Section (UNESCO) and Former Senior Adviser for International Affairs to the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (USA), Professor Stamenka Uvalić-Trumbić, could not join us because of a family bereavement. The other keynote speaker, Professor Wendy Thomson CBE, Vice-Chancellor of University of London, talked about changing approaches to quality in higher education and shared her experience in offering diversified programmes. Insights into Local Educational Practices During the round-table discussion chaired by Professor William K.M. Lee, Director of HKU SPACE, each of the five local and internationally distinguished speakers addressed different aspects of the topic ‘Cap 320 and its Implementation in Hong Kong’. For instance, Mr Esmond Lee, Deputy Secretary for Education of Education Bureau, talked about the unified regulatory framework under the revamped post-secondary colleges ordinance (Cap. 320). Mr Albert Chow, Executive Director of Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications, spoke from the perspective of a quality assurance (QA) agency and described the development of institutional review standards being in line with the Cap. 320 amendments and implementation. Professor Ronald Chung, Dean of the School of Continuing Education of Hong Kong Baptist University, talked about how the selffinancing education sector may be maintained with minimum intervention amidst regulatory measures and government support, while Dr Kim Mak, President of the Caritas Institute of Higher Education & Caritas Bianchi College of Careers, spoke of the healthy development of the self-financing postsecondary education sector in Hong Kong. Professor Peter Yuen, Professor and Dean of the College of Professional and Continuing Education of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, delivered a speech about quality issues in the post-secondary education sector and the Cap. 320 revision. In the afternoon, six parallel sessions took place with distinguished experts, officials, and educators from the local and overseas universities discussing the various aspects of transnational and selffinanced education and teaching and learning covering topics such as innovative teaching, policy landscape pertaining to transnational education, simulations in teaching practices, quality assurance issues in transnational and selffinanced programmes, and transnational education experience in Hong Kong. Making the best use of technology to enhance learning efficiency The advancement and development of technology have extensively transformed traditional teaching and learning models. In light of the popularity of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies, educators have started to explore the use of these technological innovations to draw students’ attention and increase the engagement of students. Since 2016, HKU SPACE has started to develop VR applications to enhance teaching and learning experiences in our courses for various fields. The conference displayed the results of one such innovative project entitled ‘Air Cargo Screening and Warehouse Management Virtual Reality application’. The project obtained funding from the Quality Enhancement Support Scheme (QESS) of the Education Bureau. The VR contents enabling multiple users to participate in a simulated environment were developed to enhance the learning experience of students by practising a series of warehouse outbound shipment operations in the Supply Chain Logistics and Transport disciplines. The School’s e-learning unit organised a demonstration of those activities throughout the Conference. Lastly, the School would like to extend our appreciation to our sponsor, Ms Maisy Ho, BBS, for her generous donation for the development of the Maisy Ho Centre for Teaching and Learning to enhance the quality of teaching and learning and for the Conference as well. We were delighted that Ms Ho was able to attend and present the Outstanding Teachers Awards 2022 to 12 recipients.
