About this session

This session will be part of the Experiential Learning Seminar Series organised by the Centre for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL), The University of Hong Kong (HKU).

Focussing on self-reflective practice for enhancing employability, this presentation looks at how the SEAL method of self-reflection was applied in virtual extracurricular spaces during the last few years. We explore how technology was leveraged to create a cohort and build a community online, and focus on the key success factors. We consider how this approach may, or may not, work for different virtual experiences and cohorts, suggesting a pragmatic approach to virtual experiential learning and community creation.
