Generative AI is reshaping the way students learn, teachers teach, and universities assess achievement. Building on a three-pillar vision – Pedagogic Innovation; Scholarship of Teaching and Learning; Inter-disciplinary Collaboration – the CEI has launched a Large Teaching and Learning Innovation Projects (L-TLIP) funding stream. This initiative is designed to help the HKUST community experiment with, evaluate, and scale evidence-based AI pedagogy. Launched in Fall 2025, the L-TLIP emphasises cross-departmental collaboration, AI Future Playground support, and ethical use of GenAI to establish and share best practices within higher education.

Objective of L-TLIP Funded Projects

By the conclusion of the three-year project, the team must deliver a functioning, classroom-ready tool or practice implemented in multiple courses spanning at least two academic departments or disciplinary domains. This must be accompanied by rigorous evidence of improvement in one or more of the following:

  1. Cognitive outcomes: gains in understanding, application, or knowledge transfer;
  2. Affective outcomes: shifts in motivation, confidence, belonging, or well-being;
  3. Assessment practices: improvements in the validity, integrity, or efficiency of grading and feedback.

Funded Projects

The CEI has supported a diverse array of innovative projects, each dedicated to exploring and establishing best practices for GenAI in higher education. Specifically, the L-TLIP award funds cross-disciplinary teams of faculty and students—working as partners—to design, build, and pilot tangible, AI-driven teaching solutions that address clearly defined HKUST learning challenges.
