Abstract / Video
In CUHK, we have various kinds of E-Learning technologies to assist teaching. However, it seems that it doesn't have specific platform to provide ad-hoc guidance/support for students by peers/instructors/TA when they start working on their coursework (e.g. Assignments, Lab, Group discussion, Projects, etc...). During this time periods before the coursework deadline, students eager to know more about how to finish the coursework properly, so it is essential to grasp these golden moments to empower their learning.
The "Online Coursework Assistance System" will be developed to let instructors/TA to
- create password protected coursework documents;
- provide guidance/hints to each question by recording and sharing voice/video recordings;
- suggest relevant link/URL for students to read and self-study;
- setup chatroom for each question to facilitate peer-to-peer support and let instructor/TA know more about their difficulties;
- save each coursework question as ".cwad" format and reuse it in later time;
- set different deadlines for each question in the same set of coursework;
- allow students to submit their works through the upload process of multi-pages of generated/scanned PDF files to each question;
- make use of an user-friendly environment to mark submitted PDF file online;
- list out common mistakes according to each question type after finished marking;
- get statistics of strengths/weaknesses of majority/individual students in handling different question types;
- show mark distribution to students to let them know how their classmates behave.
