COVID-19 and its ripple effects cause a permanent impact on learning and teaching environment in local schools. Due to the temporary suspension of face-to-face classes, shifting to online or blended classes swiftly as circumstances require will become a new normal. The EdUHK developed a platform named EdUHK Online Classes Platform (EOCP) in May 2020 to share readily usable teaching and learning videos with local schools to cater the immediate needs for in-service teachers. Later on, the platform extended its feature to include webinars and workshops which fostered exchange of insights in learning and teaching under the New Normal; as well as an online teaching experience scheme through which pre-service teachers at EdUHK served in local schools to support curricular and co-curricular activities online.
 
Three NEW EOCP videos have been uploaded to the EdUHK Online Classes Platform (EOCP). These videos were organised by Dr. CHOW Chi Ching, Gary with support from the graduate, Ms Lam Yuen Sum [2017-22 BEd(PE), recently PE teacher at Fukien Secondary School]. Mr Ho Yik Kiu Kenneth, Miss Chu Hoi Ying, and Mr Tam Chi Chung shared their teaching on using online resources to teach PE under the new normal.

	PE teacher from a secondary school – Mr. Tam was invited to talk about the difficulties and solutions on online teaching in PE subject under the pandemic. To solve privacy and teaching limitation in online classes, physical fitness self-learning platform was developed for students to browse different exercise videos demonstrated by teachers, so as to complete the exercise at home according to their ability and environmental limitation. Meanwhile, the online platform could record video views and students’ progress to encourage them to build up exercise habits. By the application of online tools, data can be collected and analyzed through the app, students could review their exercise records in order to raise their awareness of their body changes. Besides, teachers can prepare topics that students may be interested in during online classes, such as food nutrients, healthy weight reduction methods, etc. Online tools – Edpuzzle and Quizizz were mentioned to be one of the interactive methods to communicate with students through the online lessons, students were also recommended to hand in their exercise videos to achieve their goals. Finally, the speaker believes that there would be more online platforms to assist teachers in the future, so as to maintain good teaching quality in the online teaching era.	Video link
