From the curriculum design perspective, inquiry-oriented learning through the completion of a research project/capstone project could help students consolidate both generic skills and interdisciplinary knowledge and come up with innovative solutions for problem solving. In response to the call of promoting PEER & I in EdUHK, there is a need to introduce new initiative for strengthening students' ability of generating innovative ideas into courses on research methods. Since the digital turn in the 1980s, the production and transmission of knowledge in contemporary culture relies on new media technologies as well as archive research focusing on images, film, video, found objects and sound. This project aims to introduce nonwritten scholarship forms and modalities to enable innovative research projects among students. An online learning kit of visual anthropological inquiries for innovative social research will be developed. Physical and digital platforms such as seminar/conference and online repository are also developed for students to show and share their multimedia research output to a wider community. It is hoped that this enhancement of programme innovation through interdisciplinary blended learning approach could help nurturing students to become innovative change makers, who could appreciate the innovative use of visual methods in problem solving and conducting research.
