Projects
Enhance Actual Fieldtrip Experience with Virtual Fieldwork Using Technology for Quantitative Methods in Physical Geography
The main objective of this project is to adopt AI in creating virtual fieldwork, through its application in GGP1001 Foundation of Physical Geography, to investigate how the integration of technology into pedagogy enhances the content knowledge teaching of physical geography.
Objectives are well achieved. Firstly, a teaching package readily for enhancing the teaching of fluvial processes by adopting an AI-assisted virtual fieldtrip is developed through collaborative research led by the principal investigator with three Year 5 BEd(GEOG) students. Secondly, undergraduate students from different cohorts, including BSocSc(SCS)&BEd(GEOG), BSc(IEM), BSc(AI&EdTech), and BA(ESDC) taking the course GGP1001 at EdUHK learn how using AI helps them understand the fluvial processes more efficiently and effectively through both virtual and actual fieldwork.

Internationalization of Teaching and Learning in Public Policy and Geography
Promoting teaching scholarship in the context of Geography education through international collaboration. It involves academic collaborations between Kingston University, University of Leicester, and the EdUHK with academic exchanges for delivering talks and seminars allowing students of these universities benefitted from learning the environmental sciences and interaction between the academics and students from partnered universities.
Project Start Year: 2024, Principal Investigator(s): CHEUNG, Kin Wai, Norman
