About the 3C Project

This project is funded by VP(AD) in support of PolyU’s strategic plan and aims to assist Faculties and Schools in the development of a strong eLearning and Blended Learning culture. Through the project activities we hope to engage with as many PolyU staff as possible to promote the use of eLearning in ways suited to your needs.
Project highlights

Project Launch

The first official 3C event was the project launch, held on Friday 13th February, which was well attended. Participants enjoyed a light lunch and received a 3C USB drive in acknowledgement of their attendance. At the launch, certificates of appreciation were also presented to staff with funded or in-kind eLearning projects.
