Hong Kong ICT Awards: Smart People (Smart Inclusion) Gold Award

CSENIE worked in partnership with Sam Shui Natives Association Lau Pun Cheung School, C.C.C. Kei Shun Special School, TWGHs Tsui Tsin Tong School and Open Knowledge Association for a funded project titled Special school's school-based learning materials digitization scheme and establishment of "E-learning for Inclusive Education Association (ELFIE)". In this three-year project, ELFIE set up a learning management system RainbowStar, and developed a total of 572 electronic textbooks in different subjects. The team has conducted over 1000 sections of e-Book trials, lesson observations, and teaching exchanges. We also conducted research and sharing sessions for teachers, therapists, scholars and researchers. Until 2021, more than 60% of special schools were RainbowStar users. In the pandemic, the outcome was with significant impact on supporting the home learning for students with intellectual disabilities. The digital inclusion was finally achieved.
