The Applied Physics Department has developed a number of methodologies that permit “Out-of-Lab” experimental teaching: Remote control of automated setups housed in PolyU, Mobile apps-based labs, and an Arduino system with external portable sensors as the extension of the apps. The design and capabilities of these various methods will be introduced, and their deployment in courses are showcased. We hope to initiate discussions on possible use in other disciplines. Event Date: 9/2/2021 Facilitator(s): Mitesh Patel (EDC), Dr CL Mak (AP)

Teaching in an online environment can be challenging. It is even more challenging to engage and motivate students in an online class when your students do not want to turn on their microphones and webcams. Would you like to get some tips on how to make good use of some of the features of online platforms to create an interactive classroom for online learning? Come and join us in this teacher sharing session and be inspired, enlightened and stimulated! Event Date: 27/07/2020 Facilitator(s): Laura Zhou (EDC), Kannass Chan (EDC), Leo Chon (EDC), Scott Chin (SD)
In this seminar we will present statistics related to online teaching during Semester 2 together with student feedback about their experience of online teaching. Analytics relating to usage of Learn@PolyU, uRewind and synchronous platforms such as Bb Collaborate and MS Teams provide a picture of how online teaching was conducted during the suspension of on-campus classes. Combined with student feedback from surveys and via the SFQ, this information is useful for informing teaching improvement and enhancement as well as for seeing what other teachers did online during this period. Event Date: 29/07/2020 Facilitator(s): Christine Armatas (EDC), Kannass Chan (EDC), Joseph Chow(EDC), Ada Tse (EDC)
Learn how to design and implement online proctored exams to meet the University’s minimum standards in online proctored assessment. Later in the session, find out how Dr Helen Law and Dr Shara Lee have used online proctored exams to assess students in HTI. Event Date: 31/07/2020 Facilitator(s): Helen Law (HTI), Shara Lee (HTI), Mitesh Patel (EDC), Dave Gatrell (EDC)
In PolyU, we have teachers who have successfully integrated laboratory works and simulations into online delivery of teaching and learning. Come and learn about the award-winning RemoteLab project from AP and see how it is used in FAST during the disrupted period and more in other disciplines will also be covered in this second webinar in the series. Event Date: 26/08/2020 Facilitator(s): Eric Tsui (EDC), Roy Kam (EDC), C.L. Mak (AP), Kim Hung Lam (ABCT)
A number of teachers have carried out online proctored examination in the summer semester. If the pandemic situation in Hong Kong continues to deteriorate, a lot more examinations will need to be considered to conduct using online proctored mode. In this webinar, Prof Simon Au and Dr Josephine Lau from CUHK will share with us how they conducted closed-book online exams for a large class (over 200) of Year Two medical students. Come join us to give you more ideas on preparing your online proctored exam. Event Date: 15/09/2020 Facilitator(s): Green Luk (EDC), Dick Chan (EDC), Simon Au (CUHK), Josephine Lau (CUHK)
