: Augmenting the Teaching & Learning Outcome from Hydrographic Surveying and Other Fundamental LSGI Courses with Modern Multimedia-Assisted Technology
Description
With the support of this project, two sets of videos have been produced. One set is specifically for the teaching of "Global Positioning System (GPSj Surveying" and the other set is specifically for the teaching of "Hydrographic Surveying". The first set of video was produced in the Phase I of this project and the 2 sets of video were produced in the Phase II of the project.

Educational Use
The project outcomes so far have been shared with LSGI students, LSGI colleagues and professors at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU). The users of the videos show a very positive feedback on the usefulness of the videos. For instance, the Project Leader uploaded the videos to the Facebook that is specifically accessible by his subject students. For instance , on the first day of video upload, 28 students of one subject watched the video (5 students liked the video). For another subject's students, and 19 students of another subject watched the video in the first day of uploading and II students liked the video. Though it indicated that the project's outcomes were popular among the students , it did not reveal quantitative information on the effectiveness of the project's multimedia materials.
Evaluation
From the response of the students to the videos uploaded to the Facebook, we expect that the "Hydrographic Surveying" students in the upcoming Fall 2015 will be enthusiastic in using the video in their learning experience, which will be very valuable in helping them understanding the procedures of conducting GPS Surveying and Hydrographic Surveying in the fields. The videos produced from this project give very clear demonstration of how to conduct "GPS Surveying" and "Hydrographic Surveying". After the students watch the videos, they are able to understand the procedures of setting GPS instruments for static and kinematic surveying, the procedures of doing GPS data processing and setting up instruments for Hydrographic Surveying.
