The NTU Shanfu Course Platform offers a unique space for Shanfu members to share and discover courses. Operating as a volunteer student club that organizes summer and winter camps for elementary school children, it is crucial for our members to create engaging and educational courses. The platform's ease of access to diverse course designs can foster creativity and inspiration, encouraging the exchange of ideas and learning from one another. This dynamic interaction is viewed as an essential element for the positive development of our club.
The NTU Shanfu Course Platform addresses a key gap in our long-standing, 50-year-old student club. Despite an abundance of resources and a rich history of experience, members across different divisions (家別) have faced challenges in accessing and sharing courses due to traditional operational practices and limitations in software and hardware. Typically, members have only referenced curriculum papers within their own division, leading to missed opportunities for broader improvement and collaboration. Our goal is to develop this platform to optimize the use of these valuable resources and to encourage more members to share their own work, thereby enhancing the overall quality and reach of our educational initiatives.
On the home page of the NTU Shanfu Course Platform, visitors are greeted with an intuitive and user-friendly interface. Prominently featured is a 'Tour' button, designed to guide users through the platform's functionalities. Clicking on this button initiates an interactive tour, which is especially helpful for new users unfamiliar with the navigation bar and the platform's features.
