CKC Chinese Input System (CKCCIS), the core technology of “CKC information technology learning environment”, is invented by Mr. Chow Chung Kai, a Hong Kong entrepreneur since 1984. From 1992, he started to collaborate with the CKC Institute of Chinese Information Technology, Soochow University for the development of the CKCCIS. CKCCIS was awarded the 2nd Prize for Jiangsu Excellent Software by Jiangsu Science & Technology Committee and the 1st Prize for Scientific and Technology Advancement by Jiangsu Education Committee in March and December 1996 respectively. The increasing popularization of the CKCCIS, and the encouraging feedbacks from teachers and students in Hong Kong as well as the Mainland have proved that CKCCIS is powerful and easy to learn. It compatibly operates with both simplified and traditional Chinese characters. With a database consisting of large storage of Chinese vocabulary, its input speed could be very fast. In short, it brings much convenience for people of all age (children, students, adults, elders and people with disabilities) who wish to master Chinese input method easily. |

Over 250 participants from 13 schools attended the seminar. |

Students demonstrated the speed of using the phrase-input function of CKC System to input Chinese characters. |

As CKC system is quick-to-master with various user-friendly functions, it can be well incorporated into the Chinese Language teaching for students with special needs. The Centre was pleased to have the opportunity to work with staff in the Salvation Army Shek Wu School to design a school-based Chinese Language curriculum. Methods, which also included the learning of CKC Chinese input system, were specially devised to improve the learning of Chinese Language by students with mild mental disability, autism, Down’s syndrome and other learning difficulties. The demonstration of six students from the said school was part of the outcomes of this research. |

Students from primary and secondary schools were demonstrating how to use the newly developed function under CKC system which provides pictures and interface to inspire students writing Chinese compositions. |

Not only primary level, even kindergarten students are able to master the technique of CKC system and enter Chinese characters. Teachers from Mainland China (Shenzheng Luohu District Kindergarten) demonstrated how CKC system could be creatively incorporated into a Chinese lesson. |
