About the Conference

The Macao Polytechnic Institute (MPI) has organised a series of international conferences on various topics of higher education including the construction of a modern university system, the new frontiers of teaching and learning quality assurance in higher education, etc., since 2010. This year, MPI continues to cooperate with the Asia-Pacific Quality Network (APQN), organising the sixth conference in this series.

In response to the impact of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, higher education institutions around the world have rapidly transformed traditional face-to-face teaching into online teaching on a large scale.
