Bio-mining Archive

Bio Mining, a trendy mobile application (app) of picture-wise games, has been co-developed by CUHK and Starwish Little Prince Studio Limited in the hope of tackling the learning difficulties in learning terminologies and bringing fun to students studying LSCI/BIOL courses with interactive games. Through Bio Mining, the students can associate the illustrations/photos under a choice of biological topics to the terminologies they learnt in classes and so as to learn and memorise the terminologies in a fun and effective way. Bio Mining is also suitable for laymen or school students who are interested in biology. Bio Mining Archive is the offline version of Bio Mining. Users can play the games without internet connection. The game consists of 3 game protocols: • "WIPE", to unveil the masked object and spell the associating terminology; • "SHAKE", to apply the definition of a terminology through selecting the correct schematic diagram; • "MATCH", to match given terminology with a correct photo/illustration, or vice versa.
