The proposed CoP is expected to deliver several outcomes to the team members, interested teachers, and students:
- The team members and the interested teachers will be able to realize the development of the latest immersive technologies and equip them with the essential knowledge of utilizing those technologies and equipment provided by the university to support teaching and learning.
- The team members and the interested teachers will also be able to share and practice how immersive technologies can create synergies and formulate novel teaching to enhance teaching and learning outcomes.

- It also fosters the promotion of the university equipment and facilities to various departments so as to provide opportunities for students usage which ultimately benefits student learning.
Work Plan and Activities
We intend to organize various forms of activities including workshops, seminars, and lunch/ dinner gatherings for the team members and interested parties. We will organize site visits to the Industrial Centre and other departments to let other colleagues learn and understand the current practice of teaching excellence and the latest technologies and facilities equipped in the department. We will organize lunch/ dinner gatherings per year for colleagues to exchange ideas about teaching excellence through the technologies, as well as share their know-how on the use of these technologies for teaching and training in a casual way. We also intend to organize 4 seminars or workshops per year to share the teaching practice using immersive technologies.
