Fun Man Fung

Fun Man is a chemistry instructor well-known for supercharging science education with an innovative approach—immersive learning experience. He pioneered the IPOV (Instructors’ Point of View) approach to help learners understand science better. By using GoogleGlass and GoPro to film “how-to” videos, Fun Man reimagined laboratory teaching by allowing students to see through the experts’ lenses in learning scientific techniques. Data suggests that his creative use of the lightboard to record 133 units of flipped lectures have strengthened student engagement and improved self-directed learning. Fun Man’s original application of the 360˚ camera and drone to curate student-centered virtual field-trips is inspirational to educators.
