A team of members of the e-Learning Development Lab and of HKU Engineering students visited Wenchuan 7-1 Yingxiu Secondary School (汶川七一映秀中學) and installed iClass e-learning platform and iClass TV for the school. They enhanced the iClass technology in Wenchuan 7-1 Yingxiu Secondary School which was first built and developed in June 2013, with expertise brought from running the same iClass technology in Hong Kong secondary schools.
The core members of the e-learning laboratory Dr. Wilton Fok, Eric Au Yeung, Ken Law and Alan Chiang (BEng(CS) 2010) have also been the core members of the HKU Sichuan Reconstruction Project which commenced in 2009. With devotion and determination, the team has successfully brought the project to the next level to Wenchuan 7-1 Yingxiu Secondary School, classes were conducted by HKU students using the iClass system inside the computer lab.
The teachers and students of that school have adapted the iClass technology in their lessons as they have been finding it useful and interactive. To further encourage the use of new technology in teaching and learning in Wenchuan, Dr. Wilton Fok, the Director of the e-Learning Development Laboratory, also delivered a seminar “The latest trends in teaching and learning” to the local teachers and students.
