The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping numerous aspects of our lives, and higher education is no exception. The generation of students entering universities today will witness more technological change than ever before. Yet, how can we help our teachers —the guides of this generation— be better prepared for this evolving landscape? To this aim, HKU TALIC presented a series of edTech and AI workshops on emerging technologies with a focus on practical strategies and resources. The workshops were created to provide teachers and the university community more options to enhance student learning, and to cultivate AI literacy and ICT skills. The first workshop held in Spring 2024 focused on the power of prompt engineering, as well as providing tactics and practical examples in AI prompting for teaching practice.
HKU ITS provides staff and students with the ChatGPT and DALL∙E web apps (https://chatgpt.hku.hk/), which are powered by Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI services to improve teaching and learning effectiveness, productivity, and the overall educational experience.
