Oursky is glad to announce that a new website has been launched for the Research and Development Work on “Project Learning”, a project undertaken by the Chinese University of Hong Kong to collect and study the experience of schools and organizations who had participated in various “Project Learning” projects subsidized by the Quality Education Fund in the past ten years. Through this website, schools and educators can gain insights into the lessons learned in previous projects and use the research findings and other resources provided on the website to develop better approach for both learning and teaching.

The website serves a repository of “Project Learning” resources with a very clean categorization that allows users to find the materials relevant to them easily. Presentation of each “Project Learning” case also aims to help users absorb vast amount of information in the shortest period of time.

Oursky picked up the project after the Chinese University of Hong Kong decided to create web database for schools and educators to have easy access to their research findings and other “Project Learning” resources. Thus, we helped them built the site with nanoc, a Ruby compiler which generates static HTML.

Oursky Team has launched a website for “The Sunday Smile” , a programme on Radio 3, Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), the largest public broadcasting organisation in Hong Kong. Targeting at children audience, the site’s interface is lively, interactive and simple. Through the website, children can make songs requests and check out recent episodes of “The Sunday Smile” if they missed the live broadcast.

Oursky Team picks up the project when RTHK figures that they need a customized Content Management System (CMS) for updating video, photos, audio and text frequently on the website. Thus, we’ve created a specialized solution to these needs: the Team has programmed a CMS for the Flash-based website in Codeigniter framework, and an action-script in Flash.
