AI-Assisted Academic Writing Platform: An Interactive Cross-Disciplinary English Feedback System

PolyU SPEED aims to support students’ English literacy development through cross-disciplinary cooperation. The proposed AI-Assisted Academic Writing platform aims to provide all-round supervisory support that is unconstrained by time and location for students to improve their disciplinary academic writing performance. One of the most useful features of the proposed platform is the incorporation of AI text analytics technology. The platform will feature diversified functions to support self-directed learning and feedback communication.

Development of a Web-based Remote Laboratory for Science and Engineering Education funded by Quality Enhancement Support Scheme

The learning and teaching of science/engineering subjects face a big challenge under the COVID-19 pandemic because all face-to-face laboratory works in school have been suspended. Since laboratory works are essential and critical elements to science and engineering education, teachers have to try other means such as performing demonstration, simulation or virtual laboratory to relief the effect. However, these alternative forms of teaching might not effectively provide students with real-time hands-on learning experience as they could not see and directly control the laboratory apparatus in “real” time. Hence, through developing a web-based remote laboratory for science and engineering education, this project aims to facilitate students’ independent learning, enhance their learning experience, and solve the adverse effect created by the suspension of face-to-face laboratory works.
