QEF Project
QEF Project - Department of Applied Mathematics
Overview
How to enhance students’ learning interests when it comes to solving complicated and abstract mathematics problems? PolyU secured a HK$2 million funding from the Quality Education Fund to launch a two-year “Pedagogic and Active Learning Mobile Solutions" (PALMS) Project in the coming academic year, expecting to benefit about 4,000 junior secondary school students.
The PolyU PALMS project team will utilise three PolyU-developed mobile applications to tailor-make lesson plans for junior secondary school teachers of participating schools, integrating active learning with technology. Differing from traditional teacher-oriented pedagogies, PALMS’ approach can increase student engagement and discussions during lessons and help to stimulate students’ interest in mathematics and improve their learning outcomes.

QEF Project - AP Sensor (Department of Applied Physics)
Overview
AP Sensor is a mobile app developed by the Department of Applied Physics of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The project envisions mobile and easily accessible physical measurement with the use of built-in sensors in mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets. It aims to encourage students to make observations to daily environment. It also encourages teachers to co-create experiments with students.
