Listen "Dr Sean McMinn Part 1 – Innovation at HKUST"
Episode Synopsis
The Education Innovators Podcast is a weekly conversation between Eric Byron and guests from all aspects of education around the world. We look for innovative ideas and practical examples of things happening in schools and learning environments that are of interest to teachers, corporate trainers, school administrators, EdTech providers, students, parents, and anyone else interested in education.
Dr Sean McMinn, the Director of the Center for Education Innovation at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), has over 20 years’ experience in higher education. He has won the 2016 SHSS Teaching Excellence Award and the 2007 Teaching Innovation Award for his work with podcasts and education at HKUST. Sean holds a PhD in E-Research and Technology Enhanced Learning from Lancaster University, United Kingdom, and has taken up various teaching and leadership roles at the HKUST and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He has interests in educational technology, digital literacies, and networked learning and has published and presented at international conferences on these subjects.
This is part 1 of my 2-part conversation with Dr McMinn as we explore the work he and his team are doing with faculty professional development around AI and implementing innovative active learning strategies broadly within the university.
