Developing e-Content for Robotics Education: Using Learning Management System to Promote Blended Learning Model and Content Sharing 開發機器人教育學習教材: 以學習管理平台促進混合式學習及教材分享

This is a large-scale QEF project to develop an online platform to promote STEM education. This project innovates STEM learning by creating a blended learning model through a Learning Management System (LMS). By converting design-driven STEM activities into online courses, it addresses two key barriers in STEM education, i.e., teachers' limited confidence and catering learning diversity. The platform features systematic STEM curriculum structure, innovative 7-Step SWEETIE (Situation, Wondering, Envisioning, Exploration, Thinking-back, Innovation, Extension) teaching pedagogy, six-dimensionally expandable learning kits, flexible learning process, and efficient teacher training. Over 60 schools have adopted the SWEETIE curriculum, training 300+ teachers and benefiting 12,000+ students. Teachers can start to use the platform to teach STEM after just two hours of training. Recently, the SWEETIE platform has developed new online learning resources and systematic assessment methods for the engineering design activities recommended in the new primary science curriculum framework. These enhancements will provide "Teaching + Assessment" one-stop support for the implementation of the new curriculum.
