Dr. Chan,
Professor of Practice and Chair of the Teaching and Learning Committee at Hong
Kong Polytechnic University, is a pioneer in nursing education. She leads the
integration of pedagogy and technology, spearheading the development of the
Virtual Hospital, an immersive virtual reality (IVR) experiential learning
system. This gamified platform earned her the QS-Wharton Reimagine Education
Asian Gold Award in 2022 and a merit in the 2023 Hong Kong ICT Awards: Smart
People (Smart Education and Learning). She also served as a judge for the 2024
QS Reimagine Education Awards. Another innovation, v-Care, a metaverse-based
game, promotes interprofessional learning. Dr. Chan’s initiatives enhance
student outcomes, foster cross-departmental and cross-institutional
collaborations, secure funding, and have led to patents and subscriptions from
other institutions.
