LILI is a University-wide digital learning platform established to enhance campus-wide digital learning, support lifelong learning, and address emerging skills needs driven by artificial intelligence and digital transformation.
Launching August 2026, LILI serves as a core digital learning infrastructure — modular, data-driven, and flexible.
LILI complements formal courses and programmes through scalable, self-directed learning resources. It is not a course creation requirement. Units may request licenses to support operational, professional development, or self-directed learning use cases — no formal course required.
LILI serves a University-wide audience. Priority in this initial phase is given to current CUHK staff and students.
Access curated learning pathways aligned to disciplines and employability goals.
Supplement research and professional skills through modular, self-paced content.
Embed LinkedIn Learning into teaching, co-curricular activities, and scholarly practice.
Support operational and professional development goals without complex curriculum frameworks.
LILI is a cross-cutting learning resource designed to support both formal curriculum enhancement and informal, self-directed learning — without requiring the creation of a standalone award-bearing programme.
Supplementary or flipped learning embedded within existing courses and programmes. LinkedIn Learning content can serve as pre-class preparation or post-class extension materials.
Structured employability programmes delivered alongside formal studies, linking platform content to career development and graduate attributes.
Curated learning pathways aligned to staff roles, departments, or institutional competency frameworks — with no requirement for formal assessment.
Non-credit-bearing, modular programmes addressing institutional skills gaps — such as AI literacy, digital fluency, and data interpretation — delivered flexibly across time and mode.
Proposals should contribute to one or more of the following strategic objectives. These priorities reflect CUHK's broader commitment to AI-readiness, workforce development, and data-informed institutional enhancement.
Strengthen AI literacy, digital literacy, and data-informed skills across disciplines and roles.
Support personalized, self-directed learning pathways tailored to individual needs and contexts.
Enhance transferable skills such as communication, collaboration, and problem-solving for career readiness.
Enable lifelong learning across student and staff populations beyond formal award-bearing programmes.
Support evidence-based institutional decision-making and learning enhancement through platform analytics.
All proposals should reflect the following core design principles to ensure consistency, scalability, and alignment with the University's strategic learning vision.
Content is structured in bite-sized, flexible units that learners can complete at their own pace and schedule.
Learners can navigate across time, mode, and discipline — supporting diverse needs and learning contexts.
Content and pathways should be applicable across a range of roles and professional contexts within the University.
Where appropriate, proposals should develop CUHK-specific learning pathways that contextualise platform content for local needs.
All proposals should demonstrate a clear contribution to learner development across three dimensions. LILI is designed to cultivate not just knowledge and skills, but also the mindsets needed for an AI-driven world.
Multi-domain content acquisition across disciplines, technical fields, and professional areas.
Technical, digital, and professional skills development aligned to career and institutional needs.
Fostering growth mindset, adaptability, and commitment to lifelong learning as core professional values.
