STEM Courseware Storyboard “Virtual Human Organ - Journey of Drinking Fluid to Urination in our body"
Dr. Florence TANG, CUHK
In this project, we adopt augmented reality (AR) technology which provides an excellent sight stimulation in the development of a virtual e-Learning tool (VET) called “The Virtual Human Organ – Journey of Drinking Fluid to Urine in our Body". This VET not only enhances students’ visual understanding of a physical processes involves but also stimulates students’ acquisition of knowledge within this pre-set simulated environment for the active learning. The project outcomes can indicate whether this technology shall be reinforced in other related topics in Biomedical Sciences.
WeBWork at U-STEM
With the support of UGC funded teaching and learning project “Developing Active Learning Pedagogies and Mobile Applications in University STEM Education”, we are now able to develop “WeBWork at U-STEM”. WeBWorK is an open-source online homework system for math and science courses. It allows teachers to select problems from the problem Library for students to complete their assignment over the web, and students can receive immediate feedback on the correctness of their answer. And “WeBWork at U-STEM" is a user-friendly new platform that enables teachers and students without programming background to use WeBWork.
WeBWork at U-STEM is free for university teachers in Hong Kong.
