Abstract
Colleagues and students are cordially invited to participate in the Redesigning Student Learning Experience in Higher Education (RSLEIHE) Project Award Scheme 2023, which is initiated by the Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia (HERDSA) Hong Kong Branch and supported by the inter-institutional collaboration project “Co-Creating the Future of Education: A Student Partnership Project” established under the UGC’s Teaching Development and Language Enhancement Grant (2022-25 Triennium).The RSLEIHE project aims to create and share local examples of student-centred, student-initiated, future orientated teaching and learning experiences which can engage and empower students and directly meet their future needs in a meaningful manner. The main theme of this year’s award scheme is Co-Creating the Future of Education. Sub-themes are listed on the HERDSA HK website.
The project teams should consist of at least two students (full-time UG or PG students) and one project adviser. Faculty members and professional staff (in student affairs units, residential halls, libraries, or IT units, etc.) are encouraged to serve as project advisers or mentors to support students in designing and executing their proposed projects.
Proposal submission is now open until 30 April 2023. The HERDSA HK Executive Committee will shortlist project teams in mid-May 2023 and invite the teams to present their projects in the Symposium on RSLEIHE in January 2024. Selected project reports will be included in the RSLEIHE publication 2023.
Serval cash awards are open for competition. The winning team will receive HKD 7,000 cash award.
An online briefing session for this award scheme will be held on Monday, 3 April 2023. For details, please visit to the HERDSA HK website at https://herdsahk.edublogs.org/.

The five-day Student Partnership Co-creation Programme has brought 44 participants of the 15 teams in the 4th RSLEIHE scheme to a novel experience in self-discovery and creative thinking process.
On the first day of in-person sessions, participants went through a kick-off session to build connections with the cohort, a Lumina Spark debriefing which facilitated understanding of individuals’ traits and team dynamics, and a “Hack the Box” to clarify assumptions and inherent conceptions.
The following four-part Everyday Innovation (ClockWise) virtual series focused on equipping skillset of creative and innovative thinking perspective, helped the teams to generate high-impact ideas and to build a concrete foundation and feasible plan to carry on in project preparation and implementation.
