Abstract:
The purpose of this project was to develop a virtual tour system integrated with a web-based blended teaching/learning course design to enhance undergraduate and postgraduate students independent learning in health and physical education programmes. The web-based blended teaching/learning template provided a blended learning approach (combination of online learning and face-to-face guidance/supervision for undergraduate level and a total online distance approach with supervision through online for graduate level) that focuses on training students’ independent self-learning ability. In addition, the project designed three web-based online learning templates that embedded within the Blackboard learning system, and illustrate how to transform teacher’s instructional activities into students’ self-learning and collaboration activities that applicable for the alternative e-learning approach for the future.

Result:
The purpose of this project was to integrate a Virtual Tours system with four web-based blended teaching/learning course designs for improving students’ independent learning ability for undergraduate programmes. The utilization of this innovative learning system creates great opportunities and alternative learning spaces for both instructor and students to enhance teaching and learning effectiveness. The project developed three virtual tour system to the courses in Health (First Aid), PE (Fitness room) and PE Human performance Lab, and designed several teaching activities to focus on students’ self-learning skills embedded within the web-based blended teaching and learning system. The proposed project has provided examples which can demonstrate how to integrate the virtual tour system into web-based blended teaching design in teaching theories of Health and PE, and motor skill courses. The web-based online teaching activity, (e.g., Online Collaboration approach model) was designed and illustrated how to transform teacher’s instructional activities into students’ self-learning and collaboration activities that applicable for the alternative e-learning approach for other subjects/courses in health and physical education.
Impact:
The project designed three web-based visual aid activities which applied to health and physical education, and motor skill courses. The utilisation of this innovative learning system creates great opportunities and alternative learning spaces for both instructor and students to enhance teaching and learning effectiveness. The web-based online learning activity, (e.g., Online Collaboration approach model) was designed and illustrated how to transform teachers’ instructional activities into students’ self-learning and collaboration activities that were applicable for alternative e-learning approach for other subjects/courses in health and physical education.
