Jung-Hsien Chiang, Professor at NCKU Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, receives the Global Top 10 Outstanding Assessment in the UNESCO IRCAI solutions with “MedCheX: An e-Alert system for automatically detecting pneumonia from chest X-rays.” MedCheX is also the sole Asian project to be listed as top 10. MedCheX, kept accessible online and free-of-charge, benefits patients in areas with limited medical resources and is a model of sustainable development and social influences.

Associate Professor Jan-Chi Yang of the Department of Physics at NCKU and Distinguished Professors Yi-Chun Chen and Tse-Ming Chen at the Center for Quantum Frontiers of Research and Technology (QFort) at NCKU proposed and demonstrated an approach to manipulate twisted epitaxial lateral homostructures, which can facilitate the design and control of the electronic structures and crystal geometry of quantum materials. This has created a new direction for epitaxial film manufacturing, and their achievements have been published in the international journal, Nature Communications.

There needs to be a mindset shift around accessibility in the higher education space. Meeting the diverse needs of all learners is an ongoing process

Edtech solutions can improve accessibility across the entire student lifecycle – everything from enrolment to teaching solutions, graduation, event management and alumni programmes.

As the saying goes, if something’s worth doing, it’s worth doing properly. At UQ, some researchers have given this saying new meaning, setting up experiments and research programs that have run for decades, and in one case almost a century!

This Research Week, discover some of UQ’s longest-running projects, from a world-record physics experiment to studies that have redefined women’s health.  

How can universities support co-creation and active learner involvement in the design and development of their learning and assessment?

Supporting students in navigating and making sense of their learning experiences

Being able to support a range of assessment opportunities effectively and efficiently allows educators to focus on providing meaningful, timely feedback to help student learning and skill development.

Assessment of, for and as learning

We look at ways to enhance the student experience and provide support when learners need it, in light of successive academic years filled with plenty of uncertainty, confusion and endless challenges for university students
