About the eTools
LMES is a comprehensive Learning Management System with functionalities similar to Moodle and BlackBoard. It is an adaptation of the open-source LMS, Sakai, and is specially customized for HKUST's own needs. It was introduced to the University since 2005. Currently there are over 1,500 courses using LMES in an academic year. If you are interested in using LMES, please sign up here.
Turnitin is an originality checking and anti-plagiarism software that is globally used by millions of students and faculty. Beyond checking the originality of students' work, Turnitin is promoting a writing cycle that makes anti-plagiarism more meaningful to students' learning. The cycle includes originality checking, online grading and providing feedback and peer review. HKUST has subscribed to its service in order to minimize plagiarism issues within HKUST.

Survey Tool is a user-friendly online survey system made available to all faulty and teaching staff at HKUST. With the tool, you can collect survey data from your target groups at your fingertips. Reports can also be generated easily.
iPeer was adapted from an open source (http://ipeer.ctlt.ubc.ca/about) and HKUST customized it to suit our own needs. It supports four types of evaluations, namely Point Distribution, Rating Scale, Rubric and Commendation. The system aims to provide a platform for teaching staff to conduct student peer evaluation on group projects in a more efficient and effective way.
