Project Description

Through the support of this TD project, an interactive AR mobile app will be developed first for LIFS3330, and later for other LIFS courses.

• An interactive AR enabled mobile app will be developed with the following features to support the laboratory classes and field trips to intertidal mudflats and rocky shores in HK:
  • Field guide of the intertidal mudflats and rocky shores in HK
  • A database of species and marine organisms at different marine environments
  • Concept checking questions and case-study questions for field trips and laboratory sessions
  • Videos and other materials of the preserved marine species specimens in the lab to show the morphology, diversity, relationships to other groups of organisms, and ecology or the specimens
  • English learning resources to support lab report writing skills in marine biology.

Project Outcome

The project is still ongoing. Project outcomes will be updated upon project completion.
