00:12.912 --> 00:13.646
Traditionally,

00:13.646 --> 00:16.815
each subject is considered as a leaning unit.

00:16.916 --> 00:18.484
However, interdisciplinary learning

00:18.484 --> 00:19.518
is also important,

00:19.518 --> 00:21.654
which steps across, transcends,

00:21.654 --> 00:23.489
and breaks the barrier between each subject.

00:23.789 --> 00:25.624
We organize and construct

00:25.624 --> 00:27.259
leaning task and event

00:27.259 --> 00:28.928
based on real world problems.

00:29.328 --> 00:31.397
Interdisciplinary learning is crucial

00:31.397 --> 00:34.333
because whenever problems occur,

00:34.333 --> 00:37.036
it’s hard to solve them

00:37.102 --> 00:39.672
with knowledge limited in one single domain.

00:39.972 --> 00:40.973
We have quality teaching staff

00:40.973 --> 00:43.075
and students coming from different disciplines.

00:43.075 --> 00:44.810
You get to encounter different task and challenges

00:44.810 --> 00:48.080
in interdisciplinary projects.

00:48.113 --> 00:50.683
Leaning interdisciplinary allows

00:50.683 --> 00:52.518
heterogeneous groups of students

00:52.518 --> 00:54.586
play different roles

00:54.586 --> 00:56.155
in interdisciplinary projects.

00:56.155 --> 00:58.324
So that each time,

00:58.324 --> 00:59.458
students get to observe

00:59.458 --> 01:01.493
what different abilities or skill sets

01:01.493 --> 01:03.028
their classmates

01:03.028 --> 01:06.598
or group members might have.

01:06.598 --> 01:09.368
Then they will adjust themselves in a roll wave approach.

01:09.368 --> 01:10.502
Take a closer look

01:10.502 --> 01:13.205
and focus on the vintage photography.

01:13.405 --> 01:15.307
Those who have yet visited Matsu

01:15.307 --> 01:16.408
can also discover local experience.

01:18.210 --> 01:19.511
This project of ours

01:19.511 --> 01:20.779
aim to solve the problem

01:20.779 --> 01:22.147
during the pandemic

01:22.147 --> 01:23.415
where people aren’t able to travel abroad.

01:23.415 --> 01:25.017
In fact, environment and culture

01:25.017 --> 01:26.752
in Matsu are superb.

01:26.752 --> 01:28.787
But how can we interfere

01:28.787 --> 01:30.422
with interaction design to a point where

01:30.422 --> 01:32.591
the impact of travel ban is minimized?

01:36.095 --> 01:38.430
I majored in business management in college.

01:38.630 --> 01:39.398
So I feel that

01:39.398 --> 01:41.834
I have developed an ability of planning

01:41.834 --> 01:42.634
during the time

01:42.634 --> 01:44.436
when I studied management.

01:44.436 --> 01:47.006
So, when I’m running the project

01:47.006 --> 01:48.073
I have a rather complete structure.

01:48.073 --> 01:50.275
What I learnt before did not go to waste

01:50.275 --> 01:51.610
because I’m combining them with

01:51.610 --> 01:53.078
the knowledge I’m acquiring now.

01:55.547 --> 01:56.415
It slows down.

01:56.882 --> 01:57.449
It seems so.

01:57.783 --> 01:58.183
Okay,

01:58.183 --> 02:00.185
we’ll have to take note of this part when we start filming.

02:01.186 --> 02:03.422
Because l used to study programming

02:03.422 --> 02:05.257
and I know how to code.

02:05.257 --> 02:06.558
That’s why I hope I get to

02:06.558 --> 02:09.061
utilize technologies such as

02:09.061 --> 02:10.129
VR

02:10.129 --> 02:11.630
or AR

02:11.630 --> 02:13.465
applications

02:13.465 --> 02:15.768
into our project Breath of the Matsu Island.

02:15.768 --> 02:17.903
So that audiences get to know more about

02:17.903 --> 02:20.205
islands in Taiwan through immersive experience.

02:23.942 --> 02:26.111
Members in our group come from management,

02:26.111 --> 02:27.546
programming,

02:27.546 --> 02:29.815
and even from design disciplines.

02:29.915 --> 02:32.618
So, when we communicate, our different

02:32.618 --> 02:33.552
point of views certainly show.

02:33.552 --> 02:35.120
Some are go-getters

02:35.120 --> 02:35.621
who act aggressively so that

02:35.621 --> 02:37.189
problems can be solved within shortest span of time.

02:37.189 --> 02:39.425
while some consider more about the overall situation.

02:39.591 --> 02:41.927
When we think and see things differently

02:41.927 --> 02:43.796
we need to discuss repeatedly.

02:45.364 --> 02:47.332
After reviewing our final result, we found that

02:47.332 --> 02:49.701
the different opinions that each member has

02:49.701 --> 02:51.403
actually help us take care of details

02:51.403 --> 02:53.105
and perfect our project.

02:53.772 --> 02:54.973
Alright.

02:54.973 --> 02:55.808
What do you think?

02:55.808 --> 02:58.444
I feel like I’m physically in Matsu.

02:58.644 --> 03:00.546
We did great in general.

03:03.816 --> 03:05.651
The idea of Pressy Cube forms because

03:05.651 --> 03:07.753
we observe that

03:07.753 --> 03:08.987
many rehabilitation exercises

03:08.987 --> 03:11.390
only focus on hand movements.

03:11.390 --> 03:12.424
Then we thought

03:12.424 --> 03:13.459
we might be able to come up with a product

03:13.459 --> 03:15.761
that helps people who need

03:15.761 --> 03:18.730
lower limb rehabilitation.

03:18.897 --> 03:20.099
Besides, we have people around us like

03:20.099 --> 03:21.500
our parents,

03:21.500 --> 03:23.268
grandfather, or grandmother

03:23.268 --> 03:25.337
who might encounter muscle loss

03:25.337 --> 03:27.840
as their age increase.

03:27.840 --> 03:29.475
We see a great demand

03:29.475 --> 03:31.376
for this kind of product among aging population.

03:31.376 --> 03:32.945
That’s why we want to develop a product

03:32.945 --> 03:34.580
to solve this problem.

03:36.482 --> 03:37.549
Pressy Cube

03:37.549 --> 03:38.951
is an interdisciplinary project.

03:38.951 --> 03:40.786
Completing this project requires different sets of skills

03:40.786 --> 03:42.955
or professional knowledge such as

03:42.955 --> 03:44.857
hardware and exterior structures

03:44.857 --> 03:45.958
which belong to the realm of industrial design,

03:45.958 --> 03:47.226
and circuit design is required in internal structure.

03:47.226 --> 03:48.026
As for software,

03:48.026 --> 03:49.561
3D modeling,

03:49.561 --> 03:50.562
visual effects,

03:50.562 --> 03:52.064
and coding skills from information engineering

03:52.064 --> 03:54.533
that help the program to run are all required.

03:56.101 --> 03:57.603
Personally,

03:57.603 --> 03:58.403
what I learn the most is how I can

03:58.403 --> 04:00.205
communicate with

04:00.205 --> 04:01.773
each classmate

04:01.773 --> 04:03.775
or with project members

04:03.775 --> 04:04.910
that come from

04:04.910 --> 04:05.878
different disciplines.

04:05.878 --> 04:07.112
Because they might have some different

04:07.112 --> 04:07.913
opinions from that of mine.

04:08.247 --> 04:10.582
Or perhaps after you complete

04:10.582 --> 04:11.250
a wood frame,

04:11.250 --> 04:12.951
you can cover it with some softer material.

04:12.951 --> 04:14.253
When I was testing the products,

04:14.253 --> 04:15.387
my calf muscles

04:15.387 --> 04:16.221
were sore.

04:17.723 --> 04:18.590
When students complete

04:18.590 --> 04:20.259
a problem-oriented project

04:20.259 --> 04:21.460
there might not necessarily

04:21.460 --> 04:23.462
be a correct answer to their problem.

04:23.462 --> 04:24.363
So, they have to explore

04:24.363 --> 04:25.430
the problem on their own.

04:25.430 --> 04:27.232
The very first step of solving a problem

04:27.232 --> 04:29.067
is, in fact, exploring and defining

04:29.067 --> 04:29.868
the said problem.

04:30.235 --> 04:31.236
When the problem is defined clearly,

04:31.236 --> 04:33.005
we then return to think about

04:33.005 --> 04:34.573
what might the solution be.

04:34.573 --> 04:36.141
This kind of project is essentially interdisciplinary.

04:36.141 --> 04:37.075
Because you have to

04:37.075 --> 04:38.477
cooperate with people

04:38.477 --> 04:39.077
coming from different fields.

04:40.279 --> 04:41.580
Sometimes, a better solution

04:41.580 --> 04:42.347
is in fact

04:42.347 --> 04:44.283
hiding behind a normal answer.

04:44.283 --> 04:46.151
What I want from the students

04:46.151 --> 04:46.985
is that they can

04:46.985 --> 04:48.720
present and express their ideas

04:48.720 --> 04:49.454
randomly and incessantly.

04:49.454 --> 04:51.123
Not in an arbitrary way.

04:51.123 --> 04:52.691
Students have to express idea based on material they collected.

04:52.691 --> 04:54.092
Students should in fact

04:54.092 --> 04:55.093
let users

04:55.093 --> 04:56.929
experience the prototype of product

04:56.929 --> 04:57.563
and then collect the real situations

04:57.563 --> 04:59.665
that happen during the process of using the product.

04:59.665 --> 05:00.599
So that students are able to

05:00.599 --> 05:02.201
delve deeper into problems and find better solution.

05:03.735 --> 05:04.536
I see how our cube changes

05:04.536 --> 05:05.871
during the whole developing process.

05:06.038 --> 05:07.005
And I feel that

05:07.005 --> 05:08.040
the exterior of the cube is getting better

05:08.040 --> 05:09.575
to an extent where

05:09.575 --> 05:10.976
it finally looks like

05:10.976 --> 05:12.744
an authentic product that people can utilize.

05:12.744 --> 05:13.679
To me,

05:13.679 --> 05:15.714
it’s like watching my own child

05:15.714 --> 05:16.748
growing up.

05:21.453 --> 05:24.089
We can draw an analogy between indisciplinary learning with One Piece.

05:24.089 --> 05:25.924
One Piece is a team

05:25.924 --> 05:27.559
where all its member sail towards the ocean,

05:27.559 --> 05:28.227
seek adventure,

05:28.227 --> 05:29.595
and complete tasks together.

05:29.595 --> 05:30.662
That’s why we not only encourage students

05:30.662 --> 05:32.798
to establish their own expertise

05:32.798 --> 05:35.033
but at the same time

05:35.033 --> 05:36.835
to possess a great ability to achieve

05:36.835 --> 05:37.469
communication, cooperation, and coordination.

05:37.803 --> 05:39.638
It’s a bit like what One Piece is about.

05:39.638 --> 05:40.839
They should not be afraid of anything

05:40.839 --> 05:42.074
but to try different things

05:42.174 --> 05:43.742
and to seek adventure.

05:43.742 --> 05:46.445
Then take on those challenges arisen in this new era.

05:49.281 --> 05:51.049
No matter it’s about doing a seminar,

05:51.049 --> 05:53.518
task, question, process, or orientation.

05:53.518 --> 05:54.886
They all have something in common

05:54.886 --> 05:55.887
that is

05:55.887 --> 05:58.457
they all require an integrated knowledge

05:58.457 --> 06:01.159
which is coming from real-life situation

06:01.393 --> 06:03.929
where its process is far more important than the result.

06:04.696 --> 06:06.431
Under these different circumstances,

06:06.431 --> 06:09.067
it’s important as to how students deal with

06:09.067 --> 06:12.170
uncertainties within situations

06:12.671 --> 06:14.072
and how they manage to find ways

06:14.072 --> 06:15.741
to communicate and cooperate with others.

06:16.074 --> 06:17.709
This kind of soft skill

06:17.709 --> 06:19.711
within an individual level

06:19.711 --> 06:22.114
is considered to be a competency

06:22.114 --> 06:24.149
that is crucially useful for students in the future.
