A flipped classroom approach was conducted with a Gateway Education course on Science & Technology from the support of a cross-university UGC project fund. Before class, students of the course were required to take a virtual reality (VR) field trip to Lamma Winds, the first commercial-scale wind turbine in Tai Ling built by HK Electric, to better understand how electricity can be produced from wind energy. The flipped classroom activity is to facilitate the students to understand the complex mechanism of the wind turbine drive train for electricity generation. A face-to-face class including a traditional lecture, a Q & A session and an in-class group presentation exercise followed to achieve the intended learning outcomes.
