Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, the world of generative AI has been rapidly changing, and its impact on education is debatable. To help faculty catch up on this topic and understand how HKUST is reacting to it, CEI has compiled a list of relevant information and resources. We will continue to update this list, so please check back regularly.

CEI brought to you our new podcast EnLITe: Education Leadership and Innovative Teaching. Our vision is to advance education innovation in every HKUST course, giving our students a well-rounded education that prepares them for success in the ever-changing world. With EnLITe, we aim to showcase innovative teaching practices and provide a platform for our faculty members to share teaching innovations and insights.

We understand Instructors might need some help adapting to the online and later hybrid teaching approach. CEI has been hosting Virtual Teaching and Learning workshops, and you can find some tips and tricks that we have summarized from the workshops here.

Assessment is an intrinsic part of students’ learning process. From the student point of view, assessment defines the actual curriculum. It directs attention to what is important; acts as an incentive for study, and steers student’s learning behavior.

The Blended Learning (BL) approach has been used extensively in higher education for a number of years. With advancements in computer technologies, students now have new ways to access and interact with knowledge and people. However, new information and communication technologies on their own do not transform into good learning experiences. Good pedagogy and well-designed courses do.
