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.

This project aims to improve student learning effectiveness by helping teachers to understand and implement blended learning (BL) at PolyU SPEED. Teachers from other self-financed higher education institutions will also be invited to join the project activities.

Due to unprecedented technological advancement, the digitalisation of business has rapidly developed, presenting teachers with both opportunities and challenges when delivering business and business-related subjects. There is a genuine need for teachers to enhance not only their academic qualifications, but also their professional competency when it comes to delivering up-to-date knowledge of digital technologies to students in the classroom. Through organising a series of seminars and workshops, and inviting industry practitioners to share their industrial insights, this project aims to strengthen teachers’ professional competencies in understanding the latest concepts and applications of digital technologies.
