The PALMS Project

Welcome to PolyU's PALMS, the UGC teaching and learning project for Pedagogic & Active Learning Mobile Solutions. We support conceiving, designing and creating active teaching methods and their corresponding mobile solutions in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) related education.

Our Solutions

We achieve these goals through


Conceiving

Conceiving and turning innovative active pedagogies into practical mobile learning solutions.

Designing

Designing, deploying and developing mobile learning applications and solutions to increase student-teacher and student-student engagement inside and outside of the classroom.

Creating

Creating, and building educational mobile applications in various disciplines, giving learners more active control of their learning.

Our Objectives

We achieve these goals through


Increase

Increase students’ overall learning outcomes through active learning, e.g., conceptual understanding, motivation, collaboration, academic performance and lifelong learning;

Explore

Explore and develop active learning pedagogies to increase student engagement in STEM higher education;

Develop

Develop an online platform to promote and encourage wider adoption of active learning among Hong Kong STEM instructors;

Use

Use and improve quantitatively rigorous and valid methods to evaluate the impact of active learning strategies on student learning outcomes in STEM education.

Increase

Adapt

Adapt existing or develop new mobile applications to enhance active learning;

Our Mission

Innovative Teaching & Learning

To become a global pioneer of innovation and learning by conceiving, developing and delivering intelligent mobile learning solutions that transform educational practices and create new pathways for active learning.

Student Driven Learning

To utilize advanced and revolutionary technologies to enable student-driven learning, engagement and interaction.

Innovative Learners

To maintain a learning ecosystem that supports students’ intellectual curiosity as well as the exchange of innovative ideas and approaches, serving as a platform for global knowledge generation, sharing and dissemination.
