pharmacy_game-1CIT is part of a team which helped to develop a multi-player, scenario-based role playing game for Pharmacy students to learn practical skills in an engaging and safe environment.

The 3D game is built on the Unity game development platform. Leap Motion is used for the interactivity. The game can also be played with virtual reality (VR) headsets, allowing for a fully immersive experience.

As the pace of Active Learning Rooms development gathers, CIT has revamped its Learning Spaces page on the CIT website and the Active Learning Rooms pages on the CIT wiki.

The Learning Spaces page on CIT summarises the types of Active Learning Rooms on campus: Technology Enhanced Collaborative Rooms, Collaborative Classrooms and Flexible Classrooms.

The Active Learning Rooms pages on CIT wiki provide more information about the types of Active Learning Rooms, their locations on campus and the rooms' capacities. You can also get an idea of what the rooms look like with photos for each room.

The active learning rooms, conveniently located at some of the faculties, are designed to facilitate project group discussion, collaboration and communication among students.

Technologies incorporated in these rooms are seamlessly integrated to allow both students and faculty to engage in content and project group discussion. These rooms are flexible enough to support multiple modes of teaching.

To know more about the rooms for different faculties, please visit Active Learning Rooms.

As announced on 2 June, the way Turnitin integrates with IVLE has changed.

CIT is organising several information sessions about the changes.

The information sessions cover the rationale for the changes, things to note and a walkthrough of the new integration.

Registration is required. If you want to attend one of the sessions, please sign up using the respective links below.

Regardless of whether you can attend a briefing, please familiarise yourself with the changes via the links in the notes below.
