EDGE-AI Insights: Navigating the Future of Learning with Generative AI
Abstract
In Spring 2023, the CEI invited faculty and teaching staff to propose Education and Generative AI (EDGE-AI) projects looking to explore new teaching and learning methods utilizing GenAI. A year and a half later, these projects are yielding important findings for innovative teaching practices. In the second workshop of our EDGE-AI series, two of our projects share their work so far, and how their findings can help shape HKUST's teaching and learning landscape.
Online Course on Understanding SEN and Academic Adjustments – Earn Micro-Credentials and Advance Your Teaching Skills
Last December, the university launched our first self-study online course on Special Educational Needs (SEN). We are now excited to announce the second course, which explores various types of SEN, including hearing impairments, physical disabilities, mental and neurodevelopmental disorders, chronic illnesses, visual and speech impairments, and practical strategies to address these needs.
Creating Effective Rubrics for Assessment
Rubrics play a crucial role in evaluating student work at HKUST, providing clear criteria for assessment and feedback. This workshop aims to equip teachers with the knowledge and skills necessary to create effective writing rubrics that promote learning outcomes and enhance assessment practices. Participants will explore the principles of rubric design, including clarity, specificity, alignment with learning objectives, and practical strategies for developing and implementing writing rubrics. By the end of the workshop, attendees will have the tools needed to design and implement writing rubrics that support student success and improve the assessment process in a university setting.
