Weaving a Knowledege Web with Technology

Project Overview
Project Title	Weaving a Knowledege Web with Technology
Project Leader	Dr Brahim Bensaou and Dr Cindy Xin Li
School / Dept	SENG / CSE
Project Duration	Jan 2016 - Jun 2017
Project Description	The project aims to implement the integrated web portal and software that enable the interconnection of teaching material around the knowledge points. Hub nodes in the knowledge web are knowledge points, and they are all cross-referenced with satellite nodes of related teaching materials. The tool will also further facilitate personalized teaching by allowing instructors to track statistically the knowledge points that seems to be the most difficult to comprehend. It will also provide an enhanced interactive learning community.
Project Outcome	The deliverables (mainly in software online portal formats) that were achieved so far sets its target user as course instructors, and provides them with a set of modules including: - Asset management: essentially an online file system allowing the management of course related files - Snippet management: allows segmenting and tagging teaching materials, assoicating them with knowledge points. A single set of note, or lecture video can contain multiple tags - Knowledge graph builder: allows creating, deleting, and viewing a list of knowledge points for a course. It works with the previous two to associate tagged teaching materials to knowledge points. It weaves a virtual knowledge web - Personalized teaching tool: Once the knowledge web is created, instructor can create pre-defined 'threads' in the knowledge web to guide students to learn and review certain sets of course materials on a personal need. It is still in its trial stage, since this tool needs to work with the student portal

Project Leader	Prof J P Barford
School / Dept	SENG / CBME
Project Duration	Jan 2016 - Sep 2017
Project Description	The project aims to extend the present safety training at CBME by introducing 1) the Process and Instrument Diagrams (P and ID) that are commonly used in the industry; and ) industrial accident case studies.
Project Outcome	A HAZOP training package was developed for undergraduate teaching which incorporated both laboratory and industrial safety examples. Specifically, P.&I.D. symbols and P.&I.D. drawing were addressed for laboratory application. Industrial safety was addresses usinga Plant HAZOP Quiz and videos of Industrial Accidents. The intention is for the package to be a self- contained and self- learning package.

Development and Testing of Pause and Replay Technology in Learning (PARTL) in Engineering Design

Project Overview
Project Title	Development and Testing of Pause and Replay Technology in Learning (PARTL) in Engineering Design
Project Leader	Prof David Lam
School / Dept	SENG / MAE
Project Duration	Jan 2016 - Dec 2016
Project Description	The project aims to develop a set of skill-specific PARTL (Pause and Replay Technology in Learning) videos to fill the learning gap that caused by mass tutorials in which students' individual learning pace cannot be accomodated. With the PARTL videos, students can paused when they needs time to think and replay if they do not understand any concept.
Project Outcome	Develop a video template suitable for problem solving engineering tutorials. Produce a series of videos that corresponds to the course’s structure. Administer videos and collect interaction data from students. Analyze data from student video interaction. Obtain student feedback

Project Leader	Prof Richard So
School / Dept	SENG / IELM
Project Duration	Aug 2015 - Jul 2017
Project Description	The project aims to provide students opportunities to enhance their learning through experiential learning projects developed based on real scenario from the industry. At the same time, the project will conduct a controlled trial to study and compare the learning experience of student taking IELM2100 with 1) a regular lecture and lab mode of learning and 2) an experiential project and lecture mode of learning.

Enhancing the Experiential Aspects of COMP4441 Computer Music

Project Overview
Project Title	Enhancing the Experiential Aspects of COMP4441 Computer Music
Project Leader	Prof Andrew Horner
School / Dept	SENG / CSE
Project Duration	Aug 2015 - Jul 2017
Project Description	The project was proposed to achieve the following objectives: To increase the experiential aspects of COMP4441 Computer Music and to adopt a more open-ended approach so that students can reflect on and apply what they learn. In particular, to incorporate musical effects into interactive, hands-on, experiential labs where students can experiment with the parameters and hear the effects directly for themselves to deepen their understanding and appreciation. Students will follow-up their lab work with short reflective exercises to understand how what they have learned in lecture and lab applies to ambient sounds in daily life, listening to recorded music, and live concerts. They will generalize and apply what they have learned in the lecture and labs to develop a music app or game for the student-led course project on a topic of their choosing, where students can build anything that combines music and computers. This allow them to explore and deepen their interests.
Project Outcome	Redesigned the Computer Music class as an experiential class with a sense of adventure, magic, fantasy, and mystery like a Harry Potter potions or charms class at Hogwarts. Made each lab assignment a wild and seemingly unachievable musical adventure, and structured the entire course around these challenges The list of the labs created: Lab1: Music in a Universe without Time Lab2: Interstellar X Lab3: Alien Ringtones Lab4: Music for Kings and Congregations Lab5: Congregation Horror Story Lab6: Congregation Love Song Lab7: Congregation Misery Lab8: Hello Kitty Soundbites Lab9: Gatekeeper of Hell Lab10: Star Wars Lightsaber Duel Final Project: Mind-Bending Mood Warping or Mutant Animal Orchestra

Project Title	Reinvent CIVL1140 with Flipped Classrooms and Team-based Experimental Learning
Project Leader	Prof Chii Shang
School / Dept	SENG / CIVL
Project Duration	Mar 2015 - Feb 2017
Project Description	The objective of this project was to evolve the common core course, CIVL1140, from a conventional large-class classroom into an interactive learning environment by integrating team projects, experimental learning, service learning and peer learning into a flipped classroom.
Project Outcome	Step-wise inclusion and integration of team project-based experimental learning and flipped classrooms to CIVL 1140. An innovative teaching and learning approach that integrates flipped classroom learning, peer learning, team-project bases experimental learning, and service learning. A set of real-world practical problems that ask students to tackle these problems from identifying problems, acquiring knowledge, formulating and analyzing strategies, to the end of project delivery A few sets of environmental quality control gadgets made by the student teams, with multidimensional considerations of social constrain, science and engineering, cost-effectiveness, etc. This course is successfully reinvented to become an adventure to develop students' passion and interest through continuous exploring knowledge, overcoming properly-planned challenges, and making achievements in "saving-the-world" projects beyond their anticipation.
