Abstract:

This paper examines teachers' views on Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) and Open Educational Resources (OERs) in Vocational and Professional Educational and Training (VPET) in Hong Kong. A number of the Quality Enhancement Supporting Scheme Projects sponsored by the Education Bureau of Hong Kong SAR Government indicate increasing effort to develop OERs for VPET. Several studies have shown that although VPET emphasizes hand-on practical skills under an instructor's supervision, online OERs are increasingly being considered as effective independent learning materials to facilitate learning and teaching. To further examine the needs, a study was conducted in the leading VPET institution in Hong Kong. Questionnaire surveys were distributed to teachers for feedback from TEL and OER seminars and training workshops. Findings indicate that although TEL and OERs for VPET are in great demand, the funding, institutional support, and technical ability to develop TEL and OERs remain concerns.
