開拓求知新天地
隨著香港虛擬大學校園於2005年9月成功開辦試
點課程後，中學生現可更早嘗試高等教育生活的
趣味。
虛擬大學是科大獲大學教育資助委員會撥款700
萬港元資助的電子學習模式，並由香港大學、
香港城市大學、嶺南大學及香港教育學院共同
協辦，課程可供參與機構的學生及香港中學生
修讀。
目前已選定四個學科領域，作為課程發展，包括
通識教育、資訊科技、語言、及科學與教育。課
程透過由科大開發的電子學習開放平台發送，這
個系統可以傳送多媒體教學材料、網上習作及討
論。虛擬大學開辦的首個課程，是科大的計算機
及編程基礎課程。
此外，科大持續進修學院的嶄新發展，亦為中學
生提供另一選擇。持續進修學院不僅為商界及個
人提供終身學習的機會，更開辦廣具認受性的
專上教育課程，為中五及中七畢業生提供更多
出路。
A Brave New e-World for Students
Secondary school students can now get off to an early start in higher
education, with the successful launch of the pilot class of the Hong
Kong Virtual University Campus in September 2005.
The Virtual University is an HKUST e-learning initiative supported by a
HK$7 million grant from the University Grants Committee and jointly
hosted by HKUST, the University of Hong Kong, City University of Hong
Kong, Lingnan University and the Hong Kong Institute of Education.
Programs are open to students at participating institutions and Hong
Kong secondary school students.
Four subject areas have been identified for course development:
general education, IT, language learning, science and education.
Courses are delivered through HKUST’s eLearning Open Platform,
which can deliver multimedia course materials, online assessments,
and discussion tools. The first course offered was HKUST’s Computer
and Programming Fundamentals.
Secondary school students can also plug into new developments at the
HKUST College of Life-Long Learning (CL3). Fostering lifelong learning
through a wide range of courses for business and individuals, the
College has enlarged its offerings to include accredited self-financing
post-secondary programs, thus providing alternative study paths for
Form Five and Form Seven graduates.
