To promote mathematics e-Learning in local secondary schools, The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) initiated a project titled “Mathematical Concept Development for Secondary School Students through E-Learning” with a generous donation from the Li Ka Shing Foundation (LKSF). The project aims at equipping local pre-service and in-service teachers with quality teaching methods as well as rich learning and teaching resources, which will in turn enrich the learning experience of students in Hong Kong.

To give teachers a wider perspective on e-Learning, the Centre for Learning, Teaching and Technology (LTTC) of EdUHK organised a Seminar on Mathematical Concept Development for Secondary School Students through E-Learning cum Launching Ceremony of Cornerstone Maths Chinese Version on 29 October 2019. The event attracted a total of 58 secondary school maths panels, maths teachers and EdUHK pre-service teachers.

Dr Cheung Ka-luen, Assistant Professor of the Department of Mathematics and Information Technology of EdUHK, delivered a speech about pedagogies in teaching Mathematics through e-Learning. During the Seminar, the participants also learned more about the e-Learning platform and resources of Cornerstone Maths which was developed by SRI International, together with the UCL Knowledge Lab.

In 2018/19, a number of local secondary schools adopted the use of Cornerstone Maths platform and resources to help students in learning Linear Functions. To benefit more students, a Chinese version of the resources was developed and was introduced during the Seminar.
