Learning & Teaching Expo 2020

Foreword Hello Everyone, 大家好!

It is my very great pleasure to welcome you to the 2020 Learning & Teaching Expo in Hong Kong – this year in hybrid format, where it’s all about showcasing fresh possibilities as we reimagine the future in the wake of COVID-19.

Tamsin Heath British Deputy Consul General to Hong Kong and Macao

The UK Department for International Trade (DIT) is proud to support the Expo. We are partnering again with the British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA) to bring outstanding UK suppliers to Hong Kong. Together we will be combining both live and virtual experiences to demonstrate the breadth and quality of what the UK has to offer.

The UK has an outstanding reputation for excellence in education and skills. From school and university study in the UK and English language teaching overseas, to exports of educational learning and teaching resources, equipment and software. The UK education supplies sector is also widely recognised as being at the forefront of innovation.

School closures due to COVID-19 are affecting learners worldwide. The disruption has imposed a fundamental shift in the mode of delivery in schools, from traditional face-to-face provision to online learning, creating substantial opportunities for EdTech companies. UK businesses have become world leaders in developing and bringing to market innovative and world leading education technology supporting, for example education administration, reduction of teacher workload, student and community engagement, excellent teaching and student attainment. Our educational suppliers are constantly developing high quality, effective and innovative ways to meet the needs of learners today and tomorrow.

The DIT Education Team will be on hand throughout the Expo to answer any questions and hear about your experiences in implementing technology. Whether you are an educator, EdTech supplier, policy maker or someone who is simply interested in this area, please come visit us for a chat.

I encourage you to visit the UK Pavilion. I hope that this important event will provide a platform for the exchange of ideas that will help meet the needs of the growing education market here in Hong Kong.

Learning & Teaching Expo 2020

British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA) BESA, the British Educational Suppliers Association, is the trade association covering the entirety of the UK educational suppliers sector. It operates on a notfor-profit basis, and is accountable to an Executive Council that is elected by member companies.

Welcome from Bailey Communications Hong Kong It is our pleasure to welcome visitors and delegates to the UK Pavilion at Learning & Teaching Expo and the Asia-Pacific International Schools Conference.

Jonathan Goold International Director Learning and Teaching Expo/ Asia-Pacific International Schools Conference

2020 has been a year like no other. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the global education landscape. Due to sustained class suspension distance learning and eLearning solutions have overnight become the new normal. The need for online education for educators, parents, students and life-long learners has never been more urgent.

UK education companies have been at the forefront of this rapid technological change. Educators are seeing and using the benefits of online education and it is clear that new learning technology is here to stay.

Learning & Teaching Expo 2020 will bring together and examine the effects of the pandemic on education and all that has changed for the future of both teaching and learning. Over 270 free programmes, including seminars, open lessons and hands on workshops, will be hosted by more than 300 local and overseas education professionals.

For visitors to the Learning & Teaching Expo, and school leaders attending the Asia-Pacific International Schools Conference, we would encourage you to spend time meeting the exhibitors in the UK Pavilion but also please attend the free workshop and seminar programmes.

We are very grateful for the support that both BESA and the UK Department for International Trade have provided the UK companies and Learning & Teaching Expo 2020.

Enjoy the Show

UK-HK ICT in Education Partnership Initiative UK-HK ICT in Education Partnership Initiative

From Virtual software and App to Physical STEM projects

Many participating schools have already showcased their student projects at BETT 2020

Launched in December 2014 by the Association for IT Leaders in Education (AiTLE), British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA), Department for International Trade (DIT), ETC Educational Technology Connection (HK) Ltd and Hong Kong Education City (HKEdCity), the UK-HK ICT in Education Partnership Initiative brings together 20+ UK edtech organisations to deliver comprehensive solutions through a series of programmes and initiatives in Hong Kong and the UK.

In response to the Hong Kong Government’s directives in Coding and STEM education, since 2017, the TestBed programme has expanded its scope to cover a wider range of the UK’s latest STEM education solutions.

AiTLE- ETC TestBed Programme 7.0 @ SAM Labs and Robo Wunderkind + Oxford Reading Tree (to be launched) https://www.etchkshop.com/collections/ testbed-7

The quality of British STEM education and tangible computing solutions, plus the many award- winning British e-learning software and apps cross the primary and secondary curriculum, continue to form a solid base for the ongoing partnership amongst UK edtech organisations and Hong Kong schools.

Share the memorable moments of the students, teachers and principals at the world’s largest educational show, the BETT in London, from 2018 to 2020: https://www.etchkshop.com/pages/hongkong-students-at-bett-show-london

The focus on STEM, Coding and Creativity of the TestBed programmes since the 5.0 edition sees the growth of schools participating at the annual AiTLE student delegation to the BETT show.

STEM focused TestBed Programmes The AiTLE-ETC TestBed Programme Started off in 2014 as a software and apps focused programme, the TestBed Programme enables over 60 Hong Kong primary and secondary schools to experience a range of the latest educational software and apps from over 20 handpicked British edtech suppliers for an entire school year, in return for feedback from schools, parents and students.

AiTLE-ETC TestBed Programme 5.0 @ Sam Labs (completed) https://www.etchkshop.com/collections/ testbed-1 IMany participating schools have already showcased their student projects at BETT 2019 AiTLE-ETC TestBed Programme 6.0 @ micro:bit + fischertechnik + IoT (till end of 2021) https://www.etchkshop.com/collections/ testbed-6

This programme will connect English Language Learning through storytelling with STEM

Highlights of the UK-HK ICT in Education Partnership Initiative January 2016 - HKSARG Education Bureau and AiTLE, in strategic partnership with BESA, DIT, ETC and HKEdCity, led an education mission to the UK. The education mission provided opportunities for 35 Hong Kong school educators and 15 industry representatives to attend and share findings at the Pre-BETT ICT Conference, BETT Show London and on-site visits to UK schools and ICT companies. It also enabled Hong Kong Government, schools and the edtech industry to explore UK curriculum implementation, eLearning, STEM education and school management efficiency.

The Hong Kong delegation has since then conducted post-UK trip sharing with primary and secondary school teachers and principals, and triggered various e-learning initiatives.

January 2018 - sees yet another HKSARG Education Bureau and AiTLE Hong Kong delegation to the BETT Show London. It was the largest delegation ever consisting of 76 members: 53 educators, 11 industry representatives and 12 students. The delegation witnessed the first Hong Kong students micro:bit project showcased at BETT 2018 https://www.etchkshop.com/pages/hongkong-students-at-bett-show-london https:// microbit.org/en/2018-03-01-microbit-inhong-kong/

We’re really proud of this international collaboration, and we hope that the event has inspired the students to continue making brilliant things with the micro:bit!

- news, March 2018, https://microbit.org/

Case Study: BBC micro:bit in Hong Kong schools As a direct result of the 2016 HK Education Mission to the UK, the BBC micro:bit has been introduced to and taken root amongst Hong Kong schools, AiTLE micro:bit Focus Groups were formed. In 2017, AiTLE published 2 free micro:bit teaching resources: “micro:bit for coding” and “micro:bit for STEM”.
