After discussing with teachers and educators, the UFIA team decided to focus the pilot run between 1998 and 2000 at Primary 3 English, Chinese and Mathematics. The courseware was co-developed by over 150 pilot school teachers and the UFIA team. A lot of fun-filled interactive games were built in the contents to arouse students' interest and stimulate their thinking. In addition, web-based learning allows students to learn outside of their schools. They just need a computer which is hooked up to the Internet and they can review the lessons whenever necessary and at their own pace.
Parents can also benefit from the UFIA system.
In order to share our experience in making use of various Information Technologies in the UFIA project, a sample web site has been setup. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to contact the undersigned.
