Abstract
The integration of AI in education is not merely a passing trend. In this workshop, Dr Leung will explore the transformative impact of GenerativeAI (GenAI) on higher education. He will share insights from his experiences applying GenAI in teaching practices, creating new and engaging learning environments, class activities, and student assessment methods. Additionally, Dr Leung will discuss his projects focused on developing GenAI tools to support innovative pedagogies along with ethical considerations in the design process.
This workshop will also provide hands-on tutorials, empowering participants to incorporate GenAI into their own classes. Participants will gain insights into the practical applications of AI in education, as well as strategies for enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes.
