Ushine Project

After delaying AR project, I decided to create a web-based platform where kids can learn creative courses through projects as well as interact with instructors and peers through the online community. The original idea is that kids will learn by doing with given projects and then upload products onto the web where kids share and comment on each other’s completed projects. Eventually, instructors will have a live-streaming event to review and give feedback on students’ products. Examples of projects:

After watching short project videos, kids have to do their own projects such as creating a craft, drawing a picture, cooking a dish, etc. Then they need to upload their products onto the web-based platform where they can see other people’s products.

Finally, instructors will host a live event which allows kids to ask questions, get feedback and interact with instructors.

With this platform, project-based learning and flipped-classroom method are effectively applied into classroom. More significantly, online learning platform provides tools to personalise learning of children. (According to Howard Gardner (1983) who proposed the Multiple Intelligences, each individual would have a different way of learning depending on their types of intelligences).
