About My Teaching Roles
This semester, the project specification focuses on the tourism industry as well as the associated hospitality, entertainment, transport and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions) industries. Specifically, students are required to analyze, propose and develop a tourist portal based on the novel concept of "Tourist Relationship Management".
In addition to my lecturer role, I also assist with the supervision of all the project teams each consisting of about 6 to 7 students. Each team is assigned a teaching assistant who functions both as the project advisor and business user of the team. My role is to complement the advisors by providing additional input to all the teams.
In summary, I manage a teaching team of 8 person, including 1 full-time teaching assistant, 2 part-time teaching assistants, 4 part-time honours year undergraduate tutors and myself.

AY 2008/09 Special Term (Part 2) - GEK1511 - Introduction to Computing 
About the Module
This module aims to provide basic IT understanding for a student who has no or little knowledge of computing. It is structured to be the course for the student who either plans to take only one course in computing in her entire undergraduate studies or wants to equip himself/herself to do further more specialised computing studies. The module tries to be broad by touching on most aspects of computing. There will also be some technical depth in standard introductory computing topics.Topics: The World of Computers; Number Systems and Codes; Computer Organization; Software/Programming; Data Storage; Input/Output; Networks; The Internet.

About My Teaching Roles
I teach this module to cross-faculty students from outside the School of Computing. The majority of the students are from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Faculty of Science, School of Design and Environment, School of Business and Faculty of Engineering. The main focus of this course is not just on imparting fundamental computing concepts and their applications to the students but also to encourage the students to relate these concepts to their own major area of study as well as their future career.
I used a basket of carefully balanced teaching modes to help the students to acquire, understand and apply the various computing knowledge. These include independent self-study, lectures, tutorials, computer laboratory sessions, group presentation and group project.
Students are also introduced to common office productivity software such as word processing and spreadsheet as well as basic web authoring with WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor software.

About My Teaching Roles
This is my first semester appointed as the instructor of the module. I am fully in charge of managing the curriculum, which includes a wide variety of topics from business and system analysis and design, project management, System Development Life Cycle to the technicalities of enterprise system development with the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE). In addition, I designed the project specification for the students taking into consideration the current technology trend as well as the prior information systems knowledge and skills that the students had acquired from other foundation module.
This semester, the project specification focuses on the "servitization" of software. Specifically, students are required to analyze the Application Service Provider (ASP) business model in order to propose and deliver a business management portal system and business management portals for the commercial training and education industry.
In addition to my lecturer role, I also assist with the supervision of all the project teams each consisting of about 6 to 7 students. Each team is assigned a teaching assistant who functions both as the project advisor and business user of the team. My role is to complement the advisors by providing additional input to all the teams.
In summary, I manage a teaching team of 8 person, including 2 full-time teaching assistants, 5 part-time honours year undergraduate tutors and myself.

About My Teaching Roles
As per the previous semester, I assist the course instructor to prepare some workshop tutorial materials and also facilitate the practical laboratory sessions for the pre-semester workshop.
During the semester, I supervise between 4 project teams each consisting of about 6 students, functioning both as their project advisor and business user. In addition, for the first time, we tried out virtual consultations with industry practitioners using Second Life.

AY 2007/08 Semester 1 - CS3214 - Information Systems Development Project
About the Module
Students are required to work (in groups) through a complete Systems Development Life Cycle to develop a business information system based on techniques and tools taught in CS2103 - Software Engineering or CS2261 - Enterprise Systems Development. CS3214 can be viewed as a large-scale practical module of CS2103 or CS2261. Emphasis will be placed on requirement analysis, system design, user interface design, database design and implementation efficiency. Students will be assessed based on their understanding and ability to apply software engineering knowledge on a real-life application system. The target students are 3rd and 4th year senior undergraduates.
Current state-of-the-arts technologies such as Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) and Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) are also imparted. Students are also inculcated with agile software development methodologies such as eXtreme Programming (XP) and SCRUM.
Finally, this module places a heavy emphasis on business analysis with a deep understanding of the relevant business domain and intimate collaboration with the business users.
