This is the 25th anniversary of the Hong Kong Association for Educational Communications and Technology (HKAECT; see http://www.hkaect.org/). The silver anniversary annual meeting will be held at the University of Hong Kong December 8--10, with the theme of the conference being "Communication and Education: New Media, Knowledge Practices, and Multiliteracies" (see http://www.hkaect.org/hkaect 2014/index.html). The fact that there has been an active group of educational technology professionals in Hong Kong for this period of time suggests that a look at research, development, practice, and professional preparation in Hong Kong will be worthwhile. This brief overview of educational technology in Hong Kong is intended for that purpose.
