Guidelines and Information

 Introduction

The Learning to Learn (L2L) Community of Practice (CoP) is organising the L2L Video Contest. It invites students and teachers to create short videos to share their insights and discoveries with a view to helping others to become better learners. The L2L Video Contest will take place over the course of March to May 2022.

 Objectives

Through this event, we hope to:

1. promote engagement and student-teacher partnership in L2L;
2. generate a wealth of short videos to help students become better learners; and
3. create a learning community in which members support each other’s development through collaboration, sharing and exchanges.

Eligibility

All students and teachers of PolyU are welcome to take part in this contest. Participation can be individual or in team (up to 3 members per team). Students and teachers are encouraged to form teams together (not that it matters, but this will get you bonus points for the grand prizes).
