展现「人味」的创新设计
每一项伟大的创新发明,莫不隐含设计心思与感性,用户也许未必察觉,但这却是设计思维中的一个重要元素,有助孕育无数以人为本的创新方案 。 科大的综合系统与设计学部(ISD)以培育新一代创新人才为目标,透过专题研习形式,启导学生以同理心出发,善用科技回应社会需要。  自身困境推动创新 由ISD学生林思恒(Iain)创办和担任行政总裁的悦学教育 (Sallux Education),正正希望利用科技协助有学习困难的中、小学生突破困境。 Iain儿时患有读写障碍及专注力失调/过度活跃症 (ADHD),挣扎向上的亲身经历,成了他创业的最大动力。  现正修读科技领导及创业理学硕士最后一年课程的Iain 说:「学习障碍令我小时候的学习生涯十分痛苦,香港传统的教育方式要求所有学生在课室正襟危坐地听课,每天也要应付排山倒海的习作 。」 Iain现时攻读的课程涉及创业,而成立初创公司是课程其中一项指定要求。  我希望让老师明白 SEN学生的难处和感受。 一如许多患有读写障碍的学生,Iain在背诵英文字母时遇上极大困难,他形容当年的学习经验令他留下阴影,自己虽然用功,「但老师和同学都不谅解我的困境」。  学习障碍也令Iain饱受欺凌,但他并未因此心生怨愤。 逆境滋养了他的同理心,驱使小伙子立志为同路人伸出援手。 「我希望做点有益社会的事情,起码让老师知道有特殊学习需要(SEN) 的学生面对甚么难处和内心感受。」  游戏化课程 Iain革新教学方式,采用虚拟现实 (VR) 及「改良实境」(MR)技术,将上课过程游戏化,大大改善了学生的学习体验。  SEN 学生戴上耳机后,便可完全投入沉浸式虚拟学习环境,课堂专注力可以维持20分钟以上,并在不受干扰的情况下完成习作。
