展現「人味」的創新設計
每一項偉大的創新發明,莫不隱含設計心思與感性,使用者也許未必察覺,但這卻是設計思維中的一個重要元素,有助孕育無數以人為本的創新方案。科大的綜合系統與設計學部(ISD)以培育新一代創新人才為目標,透過專題研習形式,啟導學生以同理心出發,善用科技回應社會需要。
自身困境推動創新
由ISD學生林思恆(Iain)創辦和擔任行政總裁的悅學教育 (Sallux Education),正正希望利用科技協助有學習困難的中、小學生突破困境。Iain兒時患有讀寫障礙及專注力失調/過度活躍症 (ADHD),掙扎向上的親身經歷,成了他創業的最大動力。
現正修讀科技領導及創業理學碩士最後一年課程的Iain說:「學習障礙令我小時候的學習生涯十分痛苦,香港傳統的教育方式要求所有學生在課室正襟危坐地聽課,每天也要應付排山倒海的習作 。」Iain現時攻讀的課程涉及創業,而成立初創公司是課程其中一項指定要求。
我希望讓老師明白SEN學生的難處和感受。
一如許多患有讀寫障礙的學生,Iain在背誦英文字母時遇上極大困難,他形容當年的學習經驗令他留下陰影,自己雖然用功,「但老師和同學都不諒解我的困境」。
學習障礙也令Iain飽受欺凌,但他並未因此心生怨憤。逆境滋養了他的同理心,驅使小伙子立志為同路人伸出援手。「我希望做點有益社會的事情,起碼讓老師知道有特殊學習需要(SEN) 的學生面對甚麼難處和內心感受。」
遊戲化課程
Iain革新教學方式,採用虛擬實境 (VR) 及「改良實境」(MR)技術,將上課過程遊戲化,大大改善了學生的學習體驗。
SEN 學生戴上耳機後,便可完全投入沉浸式虛擬學習環境,課堂專注力可以維持20分鐘以上,並在不受干擾的情況下完成習作。
