COVID-19 has brought unprecedented challenges to the online learning environment, making it imperative for schools and colleges in Hong Kong to accelerate their adoption of digital communication and video conferencing services. One such challenge lies in the access to campus labs, whose virtual doors had remained closed to students until the introduction of Azure Lab Services (ALS) to Hong Kong.
In a first initiative of its kind for Hong Kong and the Asia Pacific region, the College of Professional and Continuing Education (CPCE) of PolyU is working hand in hand with Microsoft Hong Kong to address this challenge through the deployment of the ALS which enables students to access virtual labs anytime, anywhere.
