Enhancing Your Course Design with AI Co-designer | SPRING 2026

Start Date

Wed, 2026-03-18 12:00

Do you find course design rewarding yet time-consuming? Balancing efficiency with quality, aligning learning outcomes, learning activities, and assessments while keeping students engaged can feel overwhelming, and even experienced instructors sometimes wish for a clearer way to see how all the pieces fit together.

That is where the AI Co-designer, CEI’s in-house AI-assisted course design platform, comes in.

We are introducing the AI Co-designer as a one-year pilot initiative to explore how AI can support course design at HKUST. Your participation and feedback are crucial, as they will help us assess the platform's effectiveness, impact on teaching, and long-term viability. This pilot is an opportunity for us to learn together and make an informed decision about the tool’s future.

The AI Co-designer acts as your course design partner for crafting course ILOs, assessments, and learning activities. Use it to check constructive alignment, spark fresh ideas for engaging learning experiences, prepare lesson plans, and more.

With the AI Co-designer, you can:

streamline individual and collaborative design workflows.
evaluate constructive alignment using built-in pedagogical frameworks.
reclaim your time for creative and engaging learning experience design.

Join us for this interactive workshop to explore how the AI Co-designer can support your teaching practice and make the design process more efficient and inspiring.

By the end of this hands-on session, you’ll be able to:

describe the features and the workflow of the AI Co-designer
use prompts to generate course components and constructive alignment mapping tables based on user materials
apply prompt engineering techniques for iterative content refinement
evaluate the applicability and relevance of generated responses using built-in reflection questions
retrieve generated course components from course conversation and syllabus files
