Background To facilitate the implementation of the NSS Physics Curriculum, a series of professional development programmes is being organised. Major domains of the professional development programmes to be provided are: (1) Understanding and Interpreting the Curriculum; (2) Learning and Teaching Strategies; (3) Enriching Knowledge for the Physics Curriculum; and (4) Assessing Student Learning (Including Internal Assessment, School-based Assessment and Standards-referenced Reporting). Please refer to the following webpage for further details of this series: http://cd1.edb.hkedcity.net/cd/science/physics/NSS/nssphy_e.htm This course belongs to the series of Professional Development Programmes on Learning and Teaching Strategies for the NSS Physics Curriculum. The course focuses on learning and teaching strategies for the elective topic 'Medical Physics'. The Science Education Section commissioned the Department of Health Technology and Informatics, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, to develop a web-based interactive learning platform. The platform aims at providing interactive learning materials for students to understand medical imaging by integrating subject knowledge. 
Objective(s) 1. To introduce the use of the web-based platform which can enhance the learning and teaching of the elective topic “Medical Physics”. 2. To share with teachers strategies and effective means to enhance learning and teaching. 3. To provide teachers with details of course material of activities in the web-based platform.
