2. CRESDA: Towards a Personalized Student Advisory for Professional Development

Author

Hui, Yan Keung, Kwok, Lam For, and Ip, Horace H. S.

Abstract

Student participation in extracurricular activities has been proven to be as an important element in personal development and become an indicator of their competencies in relation to their future career success. However, participation in extracurricular activities is not systematically recorded and is difficult to be used for planning and reflection. Therefore, a repository was developed to record student participation in extracurricular activities. Activity organizers can define the attributes (codified competencies) based on the learning objectives, learning activities and expected learning outcomes; and can link these attributes to the corresponding extracurricular activity. We performed two case studies. One showed that different sets of competencies are needed by students in different disciplines, while the other demonstrated the correlation between extracurricular activities participation and academic performance within a discipline. Riding on these findings, we proposed an approach towards personalized student advisory on professional development.

3. An Empirical Study on Using Virtual Reality for Enhancing the Youth's Intercultural Sensitivity in Hong Kong

Author

Li, Chen, Ip, Horace H. S., Wong, Yuen M., and Lam, Wing S.

Abstract

According to the census data published by the government in 2016, 92% of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region population is ethnic Chinese, while the number of ethnic minorities increased significantly by around 70% over the past decade. Enhancing the youth's intercultural sensitivity is becoming critical. Although many of the schools start to provide intercultural sensitivity training as extra-curriculum activities, students often find them unattractive while teachers question their effectiveness. In this paper, we present a virtual reality enabled approach for enhancing the youth's intercultural sensitivity. The objective is to design and develop an approach that can benefit from using virtual reality to deliver the instructional materials, making the learning more effective. A total number of three different virtual reality learning scenarios have been created, covering topics such as views of marriage and family, religious beliefs, and language barrier. The empirical study found significantly increase of intercultural sensitivity among the 67 qualified participants after joining the session. The calculated linear regression model also suggested that the participants' perceived motivation from the virtual reality learning content positively contributed to the intercultural sensitivity increase, while interestingly the perceived enjoyment during the virtual reality exposure may negatively affected the learning outcomes.

4. Enhance affective expression and social reciprocity for children with autism spectrum disorder: using virtual reality headsets at schools.

Abstract

Social-emotional deficits in school-aged children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) greatly hinder these children from fully participating in various school activities in the inclusive education setting. Previous studies have demonstrated evidence regarding the effectiveness of using virtual reality (VR) for enhancing the children's affective expression and social reciprocity. However, considering the technical and logistical complexity of the enabling hardware and software systems, how such approaches can be effectively and sustainably delivered in the school setting remains underexplored. This paper presents a study that utilised VR headsets to enhance affective expression and social reciprocity for children with ASD and explored how the approach could be effectively and sustainably delivered at schools. A total of eight VR learning scenarios were designed based on Kolb's experiential learning framework. 176 children aged 6–12 with a clinical diagnosis of ASD participated in the study. The statistical analyses showed that the participants who received the intervention significantly improved in affective expression and social reciprocity, compared to those who were in the control group. Moreover, the approaches to enhance long-term sustainability have also been presented and discussed in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

5. Exhaustive and Efficient Constraint Propagation: A Semi-Supervised Learning Perspective and Its Applications

Author

Abstract

This paper presents a novel pairwise constraint propagation approach by decomposing the challenging constraint propagation problem into a set of independent semi-supervised learning subproblems which can be solved in quadratic time using label propagation based on k-nearest neighbor graphs. Considering that this time cost is proportional to the number of all possible pairwise constraints, our approach actually provides an efficient solution for exhaustively propagating pairwise constraints throughout the entire dataset. The resulting exhaustive set of propagated pairwise constraints are further used to adjust the similarity matrix for constrained spectral clustering. Other than the traditional constraint propagation on single-source data, our approach is also extended to more challenging constraint propagation on multi-source data where each pairwise constraint is defined over a pair of data points from different sources. This multi-source constraint propagation has an important application to cross-modal multimedia retrieval. Extensive results have shown the superior performance of our approach., Comment: The short version of this paper appears as oral paper in ECCV 2010

6. Visuospatial Attention in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Comparison between 2-D and 3-D Environments

Author

Ip, Horace H. S., Lai, Candy Hoi-Yan, Wong, Simpson W. L., Tsui, Jenny K. Y., Li, Richard Chen, Lau, Kate Shuk-Ying, and Chan, Dorothy F. Y.

Abstract

Previous research has illustrated the unique benefits of three-dimensional (3-D) Virtual Reality (VR) technology in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) children. This study examined the use of 3-D VR technology as an assessment tool in ASD children, and further compared its use to two-dimensional (2-D) tasks. Additionally, we aimed to examine attentional network functioning in ASD children. We administered a battery of visual processing and attentional tests on 18 ASD children and 18 age-matched typically developing counterparts. Results showed that both groups performed comparably on 2-D and 3-D visual processing and attention tasks, although the ASD group was significantly slower in the 3-D task. Intact attentional network functioning was also revealed in the ASD group. These findings have validated the use of VR technology as an assessment of ASD functions, and contributed to the understanding of functions in young ASD children.

42. An Agent-Based Framework for Personalized Learning in Continuing Professional Development

Author

Fok, Apple W. P. and Ip, Horace H. S.

Abstract

In order to stay competent and update in the fast changing landscape of technological advances, professionals nowadays are expected to continuously upgrade themselves of professional knowledge and expertise in their respective fields. Many professional organizations stipulate that their members should take part in a minimum number of hours or training units of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) activities in order to stay qualified for their membership. The requirements of CPD for modern day professionals who are very much mobile and work within tight schedules point to the need of an asynchronous learning environment that provides a learner-centered approach and offers learners greater flexibility and choices. In this article we argue that "Personalization Learning" (PL) that exploits the abundance of information and elearning materials on the Web can be harnessed effectively to serve the diversity of CPD training needs. Moreover, we specialize in the concept of PL to Personalized CPD Learning and highlight the emerging technologies that are relevant to the development of personalized learning for CPD. We further proposed an agent-based architectural and conceptual framework for a Personalized CPD Learning Portal (Personalized-CPD) which integrates these technologies to provide supportive functions for professionals to conduct CPD activities in a personalized manner.
