Dr Andrew Morrall of our English Language Centre is a member of the inter-institutional AIE-AR (Academic Integrity and Ethics – Augmented Reality) team which has received the UGC Teaching Award (Teams) this year. The winning team is led by HKBU and consists of members from EdUHK, CUHK and PolyU.

The team has been working on the project “Reinforcing the Importance of Academic Integrity and Ethics in Students through Blended Learning – A Deployment of Augmented Reality Applications” since 2015. It introduces a second-generation synthesis of situated learning in collaborative settings, delivered using Augmented Reality, to present case-based scenarios engaging students in making decisions related to the critical yet abstract area of Academic Integrity and Ethics. Twelve trails have been set and the project has benefitted some 10,000 students.
