SUMMARY:Open Class Observation - Dr. Angela Yuen
DESCRIPTION:Details\nDate: 28 October 2024 (Monday)\nTime: 11:30am – 12:20pm (HK time)\nVenue: MWT7\, 1/F\, Meng Wah Complex\, Main Campus\, HKU\nSpeaker: Dr. Angela Yuen\, Associate Head (Teaching & Learning) and Lecturer\, Department of Chemistry\, Faculty of Science\, HKU\nRegister Now\n \n\nClass Topic\nFoundations of Chemistry \nBrief introduction to the course\nThis course provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles of chemistry\, designed for students with limited background in the subject. It covers essential concepts such as atomic structure\, chemical bonding\, thermodynamics and the properties of gases\, liquids\, and solids. Emphasis is placed on developing critical thinking and analytical skills necessary for further studies in chemistry and related fields. This course is ideal for those pursuing science majors or anyone interested in gaining a deeper appreciation of the chemical world without high school chemistry background.\nNumber of seats for observers/visitors\n5 seats per session (Enrolment will be on a first-come\, first-served basis.)\nPurpose of this Session\nChemical Bonding\nBiography of the Teacher\n\nDr. Angela Mai Yan Yuen currently serves as the Associate Head of Teaching in the Department of Chemistry at The University of Hong Kong (HKU). In addition\, she has held the role of Programme Coordinator for the Master of Science in Chemical Technologies for Health and Materials (MSc(CTHM)). \nDr. Yuen has received with several awards and grants in recognition of her contributions to teaching and learning. These include the Award for Teaching Excellence in 2024 and Award for Teaching Innovations in E-learning in 2020\, as well as various Teaching Innovation and Development Grants. She believes that linking students’ personal experiences with chemistry principles is an effective way to ignite discussions about chemical phenomena. By examining the chemistry principles underlying everyday occurrences\, students’ curiosity is stimulated\, which also fosters a greater sense of belonging in students’ learning journey. Dr. Yuen highlights that learning chemistry through daily experiences is inherently interdisciplinary\, as science does not truly distinguish between biology\, chemistry\, and physics in real-world contexts. With such teaching philosophy\, Dr. Yuen is a strong supporter for interdisciplinary and collaborative teaching efforts across different departments and faculties.

Can computers achieve a form of intelligence that far surpasses human intelligence\, i.e.\, can we reach the so-called Singularity? Does the Singularity pose an existential threat to humanity? Can computers be conscious? Can we communicate and share a language with AI? Can and should decisions made by AI be explainable to humans? What is algorithmic bias and what can be done about it? What are our moral obligations towards AI?\nNumber of seats for observers/visitors\n4 seats per session (Enrolment will be on a first-come\, first-served basis.)\nPurpose of the Session\nIdentify and analyze the problems associated with applying the principles of classical just war theory to the design\, possession\, and deployment of lethal autonomous weapon systems. Examine the ethical challenges related to the current and potential use of these weapon systems on the battlefield\, and judge the main positions in the ongoing debate.\nBiography of the Teacher\nDr. David Villena teaches in the Department of Philosophy and in the Master’s Program in Artificial Intelligence\, Ethics and Society at The University of Hong Kong.

SUMMARY:Faculty Voices:  What is the key to student engagement in the digital age?
DESCRIPTION:Key Theme\nFaculty Voices: What is the key to student engagement in the digital age? \nDetails\nDate: 1 November 2024 (Friday)\nTime: 1:00pm – 2:15pm (HK time)\nVenue: Learning Lab (RRS321\, 3/F\, Run Run Shaw Building\, Main Campus\, HKU)\nFacilitator: Prof. Lillian Luk\, Assistant Professor\, TALIC\, HKU\nDiscussion panel: \n\nProf. Joseph Chan\, Assistant Professor\, School of Clinical Medicine\, HKU\nProf. Loretta Kim\, Associate Professor\, School of Modern Languages\, HKU\nProf. Thomas Tsang\, Associate Professor\, Faculty of Architecture\, HKU\n\n\n \nVideo Recording\nPresentation file from Prof. Joseph Chan\nPresentation file from Prof. Loretta Kim\nPresentation file from Prof. Thomas Tsang\n\nAbstract\nIn an era marked by rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and technology\, educators are increasingly grappling with the impact these developments have on student engagement. How has the digital revolution transformed the ways students participate in class? Furthermore\, should teachers strive to keep pace with these technological advancements and incorporate them into their classrooms? In this panel discussion\, we have invited three professors to share their insights and experiences in engaging students in classroom settings with various application of technology. They will debate the necessity of integrating new and emerging technologies and AI into teaching practices to enhance student engagement. The discussion will initially focus on each panelist sharing their personal experiences and perspectives. Subsequently\, the floor will be opened for all participants to contribute their view on what is the key to student engagement in the digital age. \nAbout the discussion panel\nProf. Joseph Chan has a biomedical engineering background and dedicates himself to applying bioengineering technologies in the field of ophthalmology. His research interest lies in the design and testing of ophthalmic biomaterials\, surgical tools and diagnostic tools\, and the development of eye-on-a-chip microfluidic platforms for physiologically relevant studies in eye research. In terms of teaching\, he is currently developing teaching innovations for promoting eye health\, in particular the use of augmented reality (AR) technologies to educate students from healthcare-related disciplines and public the visual symptoms of eye diseases. \nProf. Loretta Kim is an Associate Professor in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures\, University of Hong Kong. She is a historian of late imperial and modern China. Her primary research areas include the comparative history of borderlands and frontiers\, Sino-Russian cultural relations\, and Chinese ethnic minority languages and literatures. Loretta also works on the preservation of languages with relatively small user populations and support for ethnic and other social identities that reflect the internal diversity of these groups and organic changes to “tradition” that occur in response to political and economic factors through her research. \n\nProf. Thomas Tsang is an Associate Professor at The University of Hong Kong\, previously led the Program Director for the Master of Architecture. Founded dehowprojects\, a design practice that investigates architecture and performance environments\, informed by codified conventional practices and resolved by scaffolding experiments drawing broader histories\, narratives\, and spatial-material traditions. His research project includes Sounding Architecture (2016-)\, Soundtecture (2019-)\, Archeological Performance (2019-)\, and Prophecy of Furniture (2020-). He has received many honors\, including a Marion O. and Maximilian E. Hoffman Rome Prize by the American Academy in Rome\, a Civitella Ranieri Fellowship\, a Mellon Visiting Artist at Wellesley College\, and recently Matakyev Research Residency at Arizona State University. \nHis curatorial projects include the Cloud of Unknowing: A City with Seven Streets (2014) with Roan Ching Yueh at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum\, MTR Art in Architecture Station at the Hong Kong West Kowloon (2013-2015)\, and Hong Kong Exhibition 16th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia (2018)\, and the HKACT!
