The New Faculty Orientation (NFO) is an essential program designed to introduce new faculty and teaching staff to the teaching and learning environment at HKUST. This comprehensive program includes 3 compulsory sessions and 4 optional deep-dive sessions, covering the undergraduate curriculum, our student demographics, teaching insights from award-winning professors, and essential eLearning platforms at HKUST.
Last Spring, the CEI invited faculty and teaching staff to propose Education and Generative AI (EDGE-AI) projects to explore new teaching and learning methods for using generative AI technology in teaching and learning. A year on, these projects are yielding important findings for best teaching practices. In this workshop, two of our EDGE-AI projects share their work so far, their findings, and how these findings can help shape the new landscape of generative AI in teaching and learning.
Grading and assessment continue to be significant challenges for many educators. It requires considerable time and effort to grade assignments. It requires even more time and energy to provide quality feedback, resulting in few instructors offering as many suggestions for improvement as they would like. Finally, even the most committed educators can lose focus after grading tens or even hundreds of essays, which may lead to inconsistent and unfair evaluations.
Language is powerful and can exclude or include others. Being inclusive is a HKUST core value. It’s important that the language we use in our teaching is inclusive.
