Since 2020, NKNU has collaborated with ViewSonic and 10 local elementary and junior high schools to co-develop the courses which have successfully incorporated remote teaching into maker education. The program has increased the efficiency in collaborative lesson preparation, enhanced students’ learning interests, and further solved the challenges of teaching in rural schools.

The highlights of the demonstration courses have been the “DIY Solar Cars” course in which three schools collaborate, and the “Hand Launch Glider” remote teaching course. Both courses make good use of the schools’ resources to practice hybrid teaching. Through the cross-school collaborations, teachers deliver different syllabuses according to their expertise and prepare lessons collaboratively. The students can interact with each other from different classrooms to increase their learning interests.

These demonstration courses have brought countless possibilities to the digital education transformation.”
