"GS8 Learning Scheme" was developed by Hong Kong Education Limited. The Company had cooperated actively with the tertiary institutions such as the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the Education University of Hong Kong for many years to research and develop the most suitable online learning courses for the education sector in Hong Kong, while insisting on the objective of serving schools and students. Starting from the set up of the parent company in 1996, we have served 1200 schools and over 450000 students.

To enlarge the scope of acquiring knowledge and nurture the ability of independent learning, our Course especially strengthens students' exploratory and researching abilities in the 3 areas including "Individuals", "Society and the People" and "Scientific and Technological Education".

課程乃根據《香港課程發展議會》為小學所編訂的一系列課程指引而設計，內容不但針對學校課程，更與學生的日常生活息息相關。 本課程特別加強學生在「個人」、「社會及人民」、「科學教育和科技教育」三個學習領域的探究和研習能力，藉以擴闊學生的 知識吸收層面，培養他們的獨立學習能力。

By exploring General Studies potentials, we believe every student can possess the abilities of independent thinking and problem solving skills.

In the learning process, we encourage students to make good use of their talents and work hard with respect to the school learning objectives and the teaching progress. It is our belief that the learning process is the most significant part. Only providing students with a relaxing learning environment, students can learn better. Therefore, we let students learn from both games and practices. After a period of training, students will have in-depth learning not only about the intelligence but also their personal growth to handle the failures and difficulties in the future. We are looking forward to seeing the students develop a humble, courteous, staid and tough personality and learn the arts of critical-thinking and independent learning.

Features of our course:

• Games-initiated learning
• Progressive learning
• Systematical learning
• Experiential learning
• Self-adjusting learning
• Mutual-growth learning

我們相信透過「常識潛能開發」，可以讓每個學生都具備獨立思考和解決問題的能力。

在學習過程中，我們根據學校的學習目標及教學進度，鼓勵學生發揮所長，努力向前。我們深信學習的過程才是最重要的，惟有允許 學生在輕鬆的環境下學習，學生才會學得更好。因此，我們讓學生「玩中學、做中學」，在多次經驗學習後，學生不單在知識中 有進深，在個人成長上也更能經得起失敗和挫折，並從而培養出謙虛、有禮、穩重、堅強的性格及學會思考和自學的藝術。

我們研發的課程具備以下的常識學習特色：

• 遊戲中學習
• 漸進式學習
• 系統化學習
• 體驗式學習
• 自我修正學習
• 互助成長學習

"e-education" can be regarded as a technology-based learning method. Students can use the learning materials written by professional educators on specific websites through the Internet. Students can master a variety of knowledge and skills by applying the technology in their study.

Apart form enriching the learning content and raising the convenience of study, "e-education" leads the innovation of teaching methods and accelerate the rate of changing the teaching mode. Learning is no longer teacher-oriented or limited by the location of classrooms. Learners can do their study more independently and ultimately will achieve the objective of life-long learning.

顧名思義，「電子學習」可被視為一種以科技為基礎(Technology-based)的學習。學生可通過網際網路的方式，於特定的網站使用 由教學者編寫的教材，同步進行有系統的學習，從而掌握各種知識及技能。

「電子學習」不僅豐富了學習的內容和增加了學習的便利性，同時也帶動了教學方法的革新，促進整個教學過程的範式轉移。過去以老師 為主體的教學模式已逐漸變成以學習者為中心，「課室」也不再受時空、地域所限制，學習者能變得更自主，達至終身學習的目標。
