Teaching & Learning Information Technology

Teaching & Learning Information Technology (TLIT) embraces technology to enhance the learning experience for students. All across the globe, education institutions are adopting gamification and Mixed Reality (MR) technologies in learning and teaching. These technologies create new horizon for next generation education and empower learners’ creativity as well as storytelling and collaboration skills.

To equip our students with new knowledge to meet the challenges of the 21st century, a series of workshops will be organised regularly in each semester to cover areas as to creation of animated content, development of virtual reality /augmented reality applications and online games, etc. Recordings of the previous workshops are available online for revisit if students are not able to attend the class. Schedule of upcoming workshops will be posted on TLIT website, interested students are recommended to check it out and register for the workshop.

TLIT Lab

To support students in producing multimedia footages, pictures and apps for their assignments and projects, a Teaching & Learning Information Technology (TLIT) Laboratory providing 23 computers with high-end graphics cards has been set up in the M401 of Student Computer Centre (SCC). The multimedia applications installed on the computers including Unreal Engine for Augmented Reality (AR) / Virtual Reality (VR), gamification and level design and development; Renderforest for animation, DaVinci Resolve for video editing and Unity for game development. Students who want to leverage TLIT applications can either physically visit the lab or access remotely over internet via vSCC (click here for details to vSCC set up).
