A centralized
experimental platform, including Borderless Lab 365, AP Sensor, Lab in Your
Pocket, AR in Physics and Quiz, is developed by the Department of Applied Physics
(AP) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). This platform encourages students to perform
experiments anywhere/anytime, make observations about daily environment and promote self-initiated
as well as self-regulated learning. The projects are supported by the Quality Education Fund (QEF) of the Education Bureau.
Borderless Lab 365
Borderless Lab 365 is a web-based
remote laboratory platform. Be registering the desired experiment on the
website, users are able to real-timely and remotely control the setup residing
in school campus.
AP Sensor
AP Sensor is a mobile app that
turn users’ mobile phones and the built-in sensors in mobile phones into a
portable experimental laboratory.
Lab in Your Pocket
Lab in Your Pocket is a platform
hosting real-time experiments readily connecting micro-controller (such as
Arduino) to smartphones. Extended mobile sensors and app are free to be reserved
and leased to local schools for educational purposes.
AR in Physics
AR in Physics is a
mobile app to visualize different concepts of Physics with the help of Augmented
Reality in enhancing learning experience.
