TDLEG Micro-modules Production and Management
is a project funded by Teaching Development and Language Enhancement Grant (2017) to produce a series of micro-modules for foundation courses at the Faculty of Engineering, the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
The project is led by Prof. KING, Kuo Chin Irwin, the Associate Dean (Education) and Professor from Computer Science and Engineering Department along with other nine professors at the Faculty of Engineering.
The primary goal is to enhance the teaching and learning quality by providing a knowledge and content repository which leads to better engagement and interaction between teachers and students during flipped-classes. This would also encourage personalised learning through micro-modules.
Check out more information about the project, the process and the production stages - how to build effective micro-module strategies for your course in the following pages.
CUHK student's feedback on micro-modules (CUHK Teaching and Learning Innovation Expo 2015) - Video
"… but you know that there are always gonna be those in the student body who really truly appreciate this and they take it on with a lot of energy and that's why. I think we also speak for a lot of people that we are actually very grateful for the micro-modules."

Micro-Modules
According to ITSC eLearning Team of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, micro-module is a part of micro-learning. It is a way of teaching and delivering content to students in small and very specific bursts that is used to support blended learning and encourage teacher-student discussion in flipped classroom.
Process
Creating a micro-module might be a challenging task for some teachers. It starts with a goal or a vision of how you would like your students to benefit from the module; what kind of specific topic or specific (engineering) concept you want your student to learn from the micro-module, etc.
Example
As you plan and develop micro-modules for your course, at the same time you can also gain inspiration and learn from various style and micro-module example videos available from the link below.
