CAC3011 Applied Music and Design
The course brought together two distinct groups of students from different majors: those studying Music and those pursuing Visual Arts. I had the privilege of being one of the lecturers for this course, "Applied Music and Design." In this role, I collaborated with a seasoned professor with a wealth of experience in the music industry, enriching the students' learning experience.
This innovative crossover collaboration was designed to foster an interdisciplinary learning environment. Music students had the opportunity to explore the fundamentals of visual arts, gaining insights into color theory, composition, and design principles. Simultaneously, students majoring in Visual Arts were introduced to the world of music, learning about musical theory, instrumentation, and the emotional impact of sound.
By encouraging this exchange of ideas and skills, the course aimed to equip students with a broader perspective and the ability to integrate their knowledge creatively in future projects. Such a collaboration not only enhances their respective fields but also prepares them for the increasingly interconnected nature of the creative industries.
As a lecturer for this course, I have access to extensive foundational knowledge in music while teaching design. This combination of lectures results in an intriguing collaborative outcome for the final project. Students from both majors can enhance their expertise by integrating insights from each other's learning experiences.

EduHK organized a Webpage Making Workshop to help students become familiar with website building. This course offers a brief historical overview of website builders and explains how designers and programmers collaborate to create a final website. As a result, students gain a better understanding of web design and acquire foundational knowledge of website-building structures. Here are some lecture notes as reference:
