Abstract
The project focuses on enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes through interactive gamified pedagogical exercises on environmental sustainability at CityU and HKUST. Led by Dr. Jason Lam (CityUHK) and Dr. Meike Sauerwein (HKUST), various innovative tools, such as VR-based exercises and a board game are being developed to educate students on climate change, carbon footprint, and life-cycle analysis. These tools aim to improve student participation and knowledge retention in environmental-related courses. The project aims to cater to diverse learner needs, with a particular focus on engineering-focused and soft-science-focused students. By collecting and analyzing student feedback, the project seeks to refine and expand interactive pedagogical activities for broader implementation in higher education institutions in Hong Kong. Overall, the project aims to enhance student learning experiences, promote sustainability education, and foster interdisciplinary collaboration in teaching practices.
