Virtual Seminar
Disciplinary Use of GenAI to Maximise Student Learning: Sharing Frontline Experiences
The two academics from HKBU and EdUHK will share how their AI pedagogies enrich teaching methodologies and enhance student learning experiences.
Whilst Assistant Professor Dr Peter NELSON from HKBU will illuminate the evolving relationship between human interpretations and AI-driven processes in artistic workflows, Senior Lecturer Dr Fridolin TING from EdUHK will explore the challenges and opportunities of integrating GenAI in classroom settings and highlight innovative pedagogical approaches through AI platforms.
Virtual Seminar
AI Literacy in Practice: Preparing Educators and Learners for the Age of GenAI
The rapid adoption of AI in education emphasises the need for educators and learners to build strong AI literacy skills. This seminar explores two key areas: equipping pre-service teachers with the technical and ethical competencies required to integrate AI into teaching and enhancing university students' academic writing through a GenAI-supported framework. Participants will gain practical insights into fostering critical thinking, ethical awareness, and effective engagement with AI technologies to create dynamic, future-ready learning environments.
Hybrid Workshop
AI Tools for Supporting Research

Why AI in Education
Despite the promising potential, challenges such as high upfront investment, difficulties in collaboration between educators and developers, and ethical considerations discourage the broader use of AI in higher education.
Led by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and five other partnering higher education institutions in Hong Kong, this project proposes a collaborative community of seasoned educators and technical experts to provide practitioners with the necessary support and resources to leverage AI tools for innovative pedagogies.
