Abstract:

Good nutrition can control your weight and prevent chronic disease. In National Nutrition Plan release by the General Office of Statement Council, popularization of healthy diet and cooking model is highlighted with the assistance of e-learning. Nutrition education is important for improving the nutrition knowledge of the public. The course Nutrition for Healthy Live which is popular, has been offered for four years. The space and resource are limited, especially for the learning activities. As a result of that, to develop an e-learning system and open it to the public can benefit both the university and community.

In this project, 10 mini-lectures will be recorded to illustrate the important and difficult concepts, theory and principles about eating healthily. Nutrition is a practical profession. However, most of the offline and online courses consists of theoretical lecture, discussion and quiz only. We will bring the real world practice into the classroom with the assistance of computer science. An one-stop system will be developed for diet evaluation. This system includes the part for food weigh estimation, diet data input, calculation, comparison and the examples of healthy dish. Students will experience first-hand exposure guided by this platform step by step.
