The Inter-school Mobile Quiz Contest

To cope with the new 4-Year curriculum, university teaching has to provide a broad basis for both teaching and learning. Ideally, it should allow students to access the learning materials anytime and anywhere. To fulfill this significant mission, the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering in the University of Hong Kong developed a mobile learning platform to enhance the quality of teaching and learning with advanced communication technologies. Students can answer prepared question sets on this mobile learning platform no matter where they are. Accordingly, to promote mobile learning and also celebrate the Beijing Olympics 2008, the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering will organize the Inter-school Mobile Quiz Contest to be held on July 8, 2008. During the contest, students will use mobile devices to answer questions about Olympics, Equestrian and the University of Hong Kong so as to challenge their knowledge through the mobile learning platform.

The contest will be held in the Rayson Huang Theatre of the University of Hong Kong from 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm on July 8, 2008. There will be 18 schools with more than a hundred students, divided into the primary or secondary section, participating in this exciting event.The list (in alphabetic order) of participating primary schools includes: the Bonham Road Government Primary School, Diocesan Boy's School Primary Division, HKUGA Primary School, King's College Old Boys' Association Primary School No.2, Pui Ching Primary School and St. Paul's College Primary School.

About the Mobile Learning Platform
This mobile learning platform includes: a mobile learning server, a course content management system, a result display system and a database management system. Through the campus-wide WiFi network, students can use mobile devices including PDA, mobile phones or mobile gaming devices to log in to the mobile learning platform and then test their own knowledge anytime and anywhere. In addition, this mobile learning platform can aid each course instructor to closely monitor the learning pace or progress of each individual student/group. The display system can spontaneously display the student’s answer and his/her attained grade/mark in a real-time manner, thus allowing the instructor to correct the students’ common mistakes on the spot. Furthermore, the instructor will be informed of the students’ learning pace through this real-time report system to quickly adjust the teaching progress or materials.

Our mobile learning platform is totally transparent to the underlying network standards that have already successfully extended our system so that it is able to work within various international standards including the WiFi, the latest Hong Kong’s 3G and China’s 3G standards, etc. This award winning project won the TD-SCDMA Application awards given by the Hong Kong Wireless Development Center (HKWDC) in 2007. Consequently, the project was invited by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council as one of the exhibits in the PT/EXPO COMM CHINA 2007, the largest telecom exhibition held in China. It has also been selected as a 3G application showcase at the Olympic Experience Center of the Datang Telecom Technology (DTT) Co. Ltd.

The mobile learning platform will be adopted for use in teaching in the Faculty of Engineering, and also a special module will be used in HKU’s Faculty of Medicine. Starting from 2009, it will be widely adopted in more courses in the Faculty of Engineering, and likely extended for uses in other faculties or disciplines through the launching of an awarded Teaching Development Project. In the coming years, we are confident that the platform will enable more and more of our university students to fully enjoy the benefit of mobile learning in a more spacious campus after our new campus extension.
