Teaching Medal Award Winner

Peter Leong
Manoa

Peter Leong is an assistant professor in the Department of Educational Technology, College of Education, at 麻豆传媒Manoa

Leong is credited with organizing the first virtual graduation at the University of Hawai’i, for families who were not able to travel to Hawai‘i for commencement ceremonies.

He has five years of experience in the development and delivery of online courses and distance education.

His colleagues say Leong is one of the few Manoa and system faculty members to teach and conduct research in virtual worlds. He says, “I strive to create learning environments that allow learners to create meaning from what they experience rather than “learning” my understanding as a teacher.”
