Abstract
Today more than at any other time, the potential for technology to act as a major catalyst for educational change in what we do and how we do it has never been more apparent. This chapter explores one case within an institution in Hong Kong that rose to the challenge of doing things differently and providing students and teaching staff with new ways of working, taking into account new technological practices and changing educational needs.
