Three UST teaching staff have received the Outstanding Continuous Learning and Improvement (CLI) Sub-project Award, recognizing their contributions to improve teaching and learning quality at the University.

Dr Michael Wong, Associate Professor of Physics, was acknowledged for initiating a program to cultivate the all-round development of Science students. The program integrates student abilities for project investigation, collaboration and communication, and provides them with opportunities to conduct science presentations in secondary schools.

The web text and audio communication tool, Gong, developed by Dr David Rossiter, Visiting Assistant Professor of Computer Science, was commended for providing a flexible online discussion environment for teachers and students. The software tool is especially useful for language learning and is now in use at UST and other universities around the world.

Language Center Instructor Elsie Christopher was cited for her creative integration of two learning approaches, namely problem-solving and case study, into language education. Her dynamic language courses enable students to further enhance their English language skills, essential to their future success in their specialized fields.

Receiving her award with the other honorees, Elsie said: "I am very pleased that the UST community appreciates our efforts to develop and implement new teaching and learning methods that are both creative as well as educationally sound."

The four-year CLI Project seeks to nurture a culture of continuous improvement in teaching and to contribute to the innovative teaching and learning knowledge base. Recently completed, the multi-million dollar project, funded by UST and the University Grants Committee, supported 49 projects with over 150 faculty members involved.
