On January 27, 2020, Hong Kong’s government placed a hold on kindergarten, primary, and secondary schools. Universities extended the Chinese New Year break by two weeks, and later announced they would shift to online instruction for the rest of the semester. However, this online shift was not as challenging as it was elsewhere. In November 2019, many higher education institutions either ended their first semester early or made use of online learning when the intensity of the extradition law protests grew. With this prior experience, Hong Kong universities were able to transition to online instruction swiftly. Both teachers and students received online training through the use of videos, teaching guides, and online workshops to equip them with the necessary skills needed to navigate online learning. To cater to varying learning styles and time zones, synchronous and asynchronous classes were offered. Universities also encouraged and received feedback from staff and students so they could improve the quality of learning.
