The MOOC courses are created for a research project (Acquisition of translation technology skills through blended learning) which is funded by the Research Matching Grant Scheme (University Grants Committee, Hong Kong government). The videos of MOOCs were recorded by Dr Maggie Zheng, while the research project has been led by Dr Venus Chan, who is the principal investigator. She is an assistant professor at the Department of Humanities, Language and Translation of  Hong Kong Metropolitan University, Hong Kong. She is the secretary of the Association of Translation Technology (ATT). Her main research interests are education technologies, applied linguistics and interpreter and translator training. She is also the principal investigator of some internal and external funded research projects, e.g. Faculty Development Grant (University Grants Committee). In addition, she has served as a journal reviewer, academic advisor and external examiner.
