HKU SPACE's Commitment to Teaching and Learning Excellence Acknowledged in QAC Audit Report
HKU SPACE welcomes the Report on the third institutional Quality Audit of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) by the Quality Assurance Council of the University Grants Committee, which was released on 17 September 2024. The Audit Visit was conducted in December 2023 and covered all HKU programmes at various levels including those programmes and courses offered by HKU SPACE and awarded within the HKU System. The Audit Panel commends HKU SPACE for its unwavering commitment to excellence in teaching and learning, and the School was pleased to have received numerous positive commendations and affirmations of its efforts.
The Report highlighted the School’s robust and systematic processes for programme development, approval, monitoring and review. The Panel noted that HKU SPACE has its own comprehensive Quality Assurance and Enhancement (QAE) Manual with oversight and approval provided by the University’s governance framework, ensuring clear lines of responsibility and oversight within both the University and HKU SPACE.
The Audit Panel recognised that effective systems are in place for managing academic standards and the quality. Additionally, the robust regulatory processes of HKU and HKU SPACE, including external examining systems, academic regulations and assessment processes, were recognised.
The Audit Panel also complimented the School’s Maisy Ho Centre for Teaching and Learning and eLearning unit on providing assessment enhancement support for the School which is committed to outcomes-based T&L.
The School is appreciative of the Audit Panel’s acknowledgement that the University and HKU SPACE make systematic and constructive use of benchmarks in quality assurance (QA) and quality enhancement (QE) processes. The Audit Panel recognised that the establishment of a Quality Analytics Team has led to the development of a more efficient student survey platform and reporting system.
