A smart campus uses advanced technology to monitor and manage all facilities, making them more efficient and providing a better learning experience for students. AI takes user data from these facilities to save time, money, and energy.

We can make our university better by creating a “smart campus.” This means we can make our campus more sustainable, innovative, and healthy. This will help us make a better future. We can do this with the help of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). I hope you have some ideas for creating a Smart Campus with Smart Learning, Smart Living, and Smart Saving aspects through our HSUHK Innovation Project Competition 2023. And I believe your ideas will shine via the competition!

Mr Nathan LAM, Solution Consulting Manager from DIGIQAL, will be coming to share his ideas about new technologies that can help make campuses smarter. He will also talk about how to make good pitches for new technologies. He has a lot of experience in designing and building digital solutions, specializing in Supply Chain, Retail, Public and Government Sectors. Before joining DIGIQAL, Nathan worked at PCCW Solutions, Fujitsu HK and Tyco Solutions. He is knowledgeable about the latest trends in technology.

Student Response Systems (SRS), often known as Clickers, are a type of interaction to create engagement between a presenter and their audience. In SRS, wireless hardware such as smart devices and presentation software are employed. In large classes, it enables faster tabulation of answers for big groups than manual techniques. SRS has a lot of potential benefits for students who use it in live classes including increased attentiveness, improved knowledge retention, tracking individual learning processes, testing students’ concepts, and promoting an engaged and fun learning environment. In this session, Dr. George HO, Associate Director of the CTL (E-Learning Section), and Mr Kelvin Wan, Senior Instructional Designer from the CTL will introduce 3 useful and famous SRS platforms, Mentimeter (with Paid Features), Kahoot! and Socrative. They will share practical experiences of using these systems for teaching. Teaching Staff can request a paid
Mentimeter licence after attending the workshop.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Familiarize with the mentioned SRS platforms;
2. Create effective SRS questions;
3. Utilise the SRS during the classes;
