The Department of Literature and Cultural Studies (LCS) launched the History Education Video Competition in March 2021. Current students of the Bachelor of Education (Honours) (History), Bachelor of Education (Honours) (Chinese History), and Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Secondary)-History at The Education University of Hong Kong were invited to submit either a micro-teaching video, or a creative learning video to participate in the competition. Participants could choose to submit a 5-10 minutes video on any topic in History or Chinese History, but the topic should be suitable for secondary school students.
The competition received many well-designed videos by the submission deadline on 28 May 2021. The videos were judged based on the following criteria: content knowledge, lesson design, e-pedagogy/implementation, presentation/visual appeal, practicality/usability, and creativity/innovation. After deliberate consideration, the selection panel determined the winners of two Grand Prizes, one First Prize, three Second Prizes, and three Third Prizes. The results were announced on 17 August 2021 on the LCS website.
Each winner received an Amazon coupon as well as a certificate in recognition of the outstanding entry. In addition, the winning videos will be uploaded onto the EdUHK Online Classes Platform (EOCP) for public access.
A second round of the competition has begun on 17 November 2021, with a submission deadline on 15 April 2022. Students who major in history education are encouraged to join the competition to share good practices of online teaching with both pre-service and in-service History/Chinese History teachers.
