Background
The platform introduced in this event is one of the project deliverables under the e-Learning Ancillary Facilities Programme (eLAFP) funded by the Quality Education Fund (QEF). Hands-on laboratory work is central to science learning, yet conventional laboratory settings impose constraints on equipment availability, time, and teacher supervision. To address these limitations, the Department of Applied Physics at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has developed an Internet-of-Things (IoT)-based flipped laboratory platform that enables students to perform real-time experiments anytime-anywhere through integrated sensors, cameras, and actuators. This platform currently supports over 15 experiments across Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
Objective(s)
1. To introduce a flipped lab platform for secondary school
2. To share experiences of applying this flipped lab platform in science teaching
Programme Description
1. Introduction of flipped lab platform: Borderless Lab 365 (BL365) & STEAM Enrichment Programme (SEP)
2. Demonstration of Experiments in BL365
3. Demonstration of experiments in SEP
4. Sharing of experiences with trial use of the flipped lab platform
5. Q&A Session
