Developing Teaching Packages using VEX Robotics 

This project aims to develop three sets of teaching and learning packages using the VEX Robotics for control and automation.
Project Start Year : 2020  Chief Investigator(s) : SO, Chi Fuk Henry 蘇賜福

Development of a VR-learning monitoring kit

The project aims at assessing the emotions of learning status objectively. The proposal attempts to determine the distributions of various HRV parameters for different learning status emotions and ascertain whether emotions could be predicted with high performance in the use of VR-learning based on HRV parameters.

Establishing a Research Cluster for Promoting Artificial Intelligence in Technology-Enhanced Language Learning (AI-TELL) Research 

This project aims to propose and establish a research cluster to promote artificial intelligence in technology-enhanced language learning (hereafter, AI-TELL) research in Hong Kong. The ultimate goal of the proposed AI-TELL research cluster is to identify and bridge the gap between AI techniques and TELL towards developing pedagogical innovations to enhance language learning.

Promoting AI Literacy and Effective Use of AI in Education 

The objectives of this project are twofold: firstly to prepare students with AI literacy and secondly to explore and develop AI tools for teaching and learning in a range of academic disciplines. The project will offer a good opportunity not only to develop the AI literacy of students, but also to promote effective use of AI in education as well as to prepare students to adopt AI-powered technology in their future teaching careers.

Infuse STEM/STEAM Elements into Mathematics and Information Technology Courses 

This project aims to infuse STEM/STEAM elements into our subject-based courses in Mathematics and Information Technology courses. For each learning area of the subject-based courses, a relevant exemplar will be established to integrate STEM/STEAM elements into the teaching and learning of the subject. Instructional materials for each exemplar will be designed and implemented by a team of developers in consultation with the project’s supervisors. The materials will be freely available online to the teaching staff. Students can truly integrate the rich and supportive STEM/STEAM elements in their projects.
Project Start Year: 2019, Principal Investigator(s): SO, Wing Wah Simon 蘇永華 (SO, Chi Fuk Henry 蘇賜福 as Co-Investigator)
