The Land Registry has launched an online version of its teaching kit, titled "Decoding Land Registration", for the subject of Liberal Studies in the New Senior Secondary curriculum.
The online teaching kit features the history of land registration in Hong Kong, the role and functions of the Land Registry and the reform of the land registration system in Hong Kong. Two games have been specially designed and included to make the presentation of the subject more interesting.
"The online version of the teaching kit not only provides students with a one-stop information platform for conducting independent study, but also helps teachers to conduct research and collect information for preparing classroom discussions and activities on the subject," said the Land Registrar, Miss Mary Chow.
"The kit also serves as a database and enables members of the public to know more about the significant role played by land registration in the development of Hong Kong and its close relationship with people's everyday life," she continued.
The online version of the teaching kit provides English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese versions. It is available at www.landreg.gov.hk/teaching_kit/sources/en/ .
The Land Registry launched the teaching kit earlier this year. The kit consists of two booklets and a CD-ROM, providing teaching materials for six lessons including tailor-made class activities and supplementary reading and reference materials. It also includes suggested areas for students to conduct investigative studies, discussions on the land registration system in Hong Kong, and comparative analyses of the land registration systems in Hong Kong and overseas countries.
