Building a collaborative platform for enhancing artificial intelligence applications in education

This project proposes a collaborative platform for enhancing AI applications in education to lower the entry barriers for educators to develop or apply AI tools in higher education. The proposed platform will consist of educators interested in developing or applying AI tools for education purposes, as well as technical experts experienced in turning ideas into usable tools. It serves to establish a collaborative community of educators to foster an ecosystem of AI development and applications in education.

Developing the Learningverse prototype – a 3D educational metaverse solution focusing on functionalising social interactions between avatars

This Knowledge Transfer project aims to develop a Learningverse prototype as a 3D educational metaverse solution, focusing on the development of the features of avatars’ social interactions and evaluate the prototype with the newly developed feature. It is expected that the Learningverse will provide an authentic, experience-based, interactiveinteractive, and engaging virtual learning environments for learning and teaching in both online and blended learning modes. The development is cutting-edgeinnovative and will contribute to the technological development for educational use.

Understanding Pupils’ Vocabulary Learning Engagement and Outcomes Mediated by an Augmented Reality App – VocabGo

This one-year pilot study aims to examine the effectiveness of an AR app –VocabGo developed by the Principal Investigator (PI) on ESL learners’ engagement and outcomes in vocabulary learning both within class and beyond in lower primary schools in Hong Kong. The proposed pedagogical framework integrates VocabGo into a five-stage second language vocabulary acquisition process to enhance learners’ engagement and outcomes in vocabulary learning across in-class and real-life settings. Most importantly, the design is adaptive to online class and after-class settings for learners to learn wherever they go or stay to cope with unexpected situations like COVID-19.

Investigating Pupils’ English Vocabulary Learning Engagement Supported by Virtual Location-based Task Tool in COVID-19 

Vocabulary learning for English as a second language (ESL) learners is a boring experience in school education because learners have few opportunities to review and apply the vocabulary learned in class to real-life settings. In the COVID-19, learners have to stay at home most of the time, the opportunities for consolidating the vocabulary in authentic learning environments are even rare. In the light of it, this study aims to develop and implement a virtual location-based task tool (refer to Figure 1) to engage learners in game-based learning activities to perform location-based tasks in a virtual world, especially in COVID-19.

Language Enhancement at EdUHK and Beyond: Fostering a Community of Practice on Technology-enhanced Language Learning and Teaching

This project intends to achieve the following objectives: 1). Identify creative and effective use of technologies in language learning and teaching (English / Cantonese / Putonghua / other modern languages); 2). Investigate how such technologies help to enhance students’ language learning and teachers’ language teaching through guided self-reflection and critical evaluations of their technology-enhanced language learning/teaching practices; 3). Build a Community of Practice on technology-enhanced language learning and teaching among tertiary students and academic/teaching staff and motivate them to use technologies in language learning and teaching; 4). Discuss language learning related issues (e.g., English/Chinese academic writing, corpus-based language learning, etc.) and offer pedagogical suggestions on technology-enhanced language learning and teaching for both students and teachers; 5). Sustain the community members’ interests in using technologies in language learning and teaching through regular sharing of members’ successful experiences and invited talks given by local and overseas experts in the field of technology enhanced language learning and teaching, and through the organization of an international conference on technology-enhanced language learning and teaching.
