Virtual 3-D Photorealistic Urban Noise Model by Prof. Kin Che Lam, Department of Geography and Resource Management

This course develops a virtual 3-D noise model with which students can learn the basic techniques in noise assessment and urban planning. The 3-D model is developed by experimenting noise simulation in the GIS platform. Uploaded to the WebCT, students can “walk” or “fly” through the acoustical environment using the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML). Students can then propose noise mitigation measures to optimize the original plan/deign and “visualize” the effectiveness of their proposed actions.

BIO2152 Methods in Cell Biology and Biochemistry

'BIO2152 Methods in Cell Biology and Biochemistry' is a newly established laboratory course by the Biology Department. There are three different projects in this course and one of them "Purification of β-galactosidase from an overproducing E. coli strain" is a 5-week project that gives the students a complete idea on how to purify a functional enzyme from bacterial cells. However, because of technical difficulties and time limitation of the experiments, a number of steps have to be performed by the demonstrators in advance and cannot be seen in real by the students. Therefore, a tailor-made video that completely fits the scope of this project was prepared locally. There are a number of advantages of having our own video:

  1. Since we possess the intellectual property rights of this video, it can be uploaded onto the Webct and distributed freely to the students. Since the students can go through the video at home before attending the laboratory, they will have a better idea of what they are going to do so that the chance of making errors is greatly reduced.
  2. The demonstrators can make use of this video to draw the students' attentions easier on certain parts of the experiments that are particularly important.
  3. Since the demonstrators may change annually, this video helps to pass the skills and experiences from one generation to another so that the teaching quality will be improving over time.

Multidimensional & Multi-Causal Analysis in Educational Research by Prof. Kit-Tai HAU, Faculty of Education

This is an advanced educational statistics course. It is fully web-based with a set of 12 lessons of annotated powerpoints in both Cantonese and Putonghua. In each lesson, there is interactive exercise (with answers) for students to try out their understanding of the course materials.

In a certain most difficult chapter/lesson, Prof. Hau would repeat the set of powerpoints twice. In the first run, he talks on the most important points and skip through then difficult parts. In the second run, he covers the details and the more difficult content. Students communicate with the professors through cuforum and meet the professor face-to-face once – at the end of course examination.

Discovery Destination: Lawyer by Prof. Marlene Le Brun, School of Law

Marlene Le Brun and Tess Li were awarded a Teaching Development Grant to convert 'The Gold Rush: Mining the Law' online game to CD-Rom format. This game, 'Discovery Destination: Lawyer', is a by-product of that initiative. Le Brun wrote the game for first year undergraduate law students to give them an opportunity to review what they have learned in their first year study and to give them a welcome break from the demands of law study. ITSC was responsible for all technical development and generously provided needed voiceovers and attractive graphics (Thank you, Anton and Judy).

  • Conducting System of the Heart
  • The Cardiac Cycle
  • Action Potential in the Sinoatrial (SA) Node
  • Action Potential in Cardiac Muscle Cell
  • Mechanical Events of Cardiac Cycle
  • Baroreceptor Reflex (control of blood pressure)
  • Chemoreceptor Reflex (control of blood pressure)
  • Arterial Radius and Blood Flow
  • Arterial Resistance and Blood Pressure
