Researchers from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have conducted a study to analyse whether and how the instructor's presence in online video lectures affected student learning and learning outcomes.

Key Points: 
  • Researchers from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have conducted a study to analyse whether and how the instructor's presence in online video lectures affected student learning and learning outcomes.
  • The results reveal that students are more motivated to perform socio-emotional and cognitive processing when an instructor, human or animated, is present onscreen, hence facilitating more effective learning.
  • Previous studies have indicated that socio-emotional cues, such as human facial expressions and gestures, help students understand and stay focused on learning content.
  • This contributes to the development of an evidence-based instructional design for multimedia learning, thereby enhancing student's learning experience and outcome."

To combat climate change and move towards the goal of carbon neutrality, researchers from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have developed a durable, highly selective and energy-efficient carbon dioxide (CO2) electroreduction system that can convert CO2 into ethylene for industrial purposes to provide an effective solution for reducing CO2 emissions.

Key Points: 
  • To combat climate change and move towards the goal of carbon neutrality, researchers from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have developed a durable, highly selective and energy-efficient carbon dioxide (CO2) electroreduction system that can convert CO2 into ethylene for industrial purposes to provide an effective solution for reducing CO2 emissions.
  • However, it is still mostly obtained from petrochemical sources and the production process involves the creation of a very significant carbon footprint.
  • The research team is working to promote this emerging technology to bring it closer to mass production, closing the carbon loop and ultimately achieving carbon neutrality.
  • It is clear that this APMA cell design underpins a transition to green production of ethylene and other valuable chemicals and can contribute to reducing carbon emissions and achieving the goal of carbon neutrality."
