Student-generated contents from project

Student-generated contents from project 

The Inter-generational Participatory Co-design Project (IPCP) was a knowledge exchange and research collaboration project co-organized by the HKU Libraries, the Common Core Office, the Sau Po Centre on Ageing, and the Faculty of Education. The project was supported by the HKU Teaching Development Grant at the University of Hong Kong between November 2019 and November 2020.   

During the projects, students made use of various kinds of technological innovations and produced quite a number of valuable digital data that could be of value or interest to the community. For maintaining sustainability and preservation of those data, they have been archived and shared on DataHub. 

With a chosen customized background image and logo uploaded, a specialized collection page has been established especially for the IPCP project. On the project page, data from the three student projects are organized in a structured directory and published items are openly accessible by the public.
