Abstract

The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has input resources for promoting eLearning strategies to enhance the efficiency of teaching and learning. Different funding schemes have been launched for teachers to apply to support the implementation of eLearning. The recent calls of three grant schemes, i.e., Teaching Development and Language Enhancement Grant (TDLEG), Courseware Development Grant Scheme (CDGS), and Micro-Module Courseware Development Grant Scheme (MMCDGS) have approved many applications which have proposed the development and usage of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). Being the central hub of providing various eLearning services in CUHK, the Centre for eLearning Innovation and Technology (ELITE) needs enhanced manpower and equipment to support these projects. In this proposed project, we aim to achieve several objectives:

  • equip ELITE with advanced AR/VR devices/equipment for sample demonstration and further application development;
  • enhance the professional development of the media production team and equip them with advanced knowledge and techniques in using AR/VR;
  • demonstrate and disseminate different teaching cases of using AR/VR to teachers; and
  • form a community of practice to sustain the usage and development of AR/VR
