A sharing session on understanding the profiles of new students, organised by SAO and CTL, conducted by our university counsellor and an SAO representative concluded successfully on 27 October 2023 and attracted almost 30 participants.  The aim was to provide our academic teaching colleagues and administrative supporting staff with a summary of the demographic profile of our new students including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Furthermore, findings on students’ mental health status were also presented. Hopefully, this information will assist them in better planning student development resources for learning and growth.  

由學生事務處與教與學發展中心(教與學發展部) 合辦的「恒大新生概況分享會」於 2023 年10月27圓滿結束。本次分享由大學輔導員及學生事務處同事領導, 與在場接近30名教職員及行政支援人員介紹有關恒大新生， 包括特殊教育需要學生的人口特徵， 並分享學生精神健康狀況的調查結果。分享會希望鼓勵同事們更好地規劃學生發展資源，促進學習和成長。

The Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) arranged two seminars in the “GenAI in Higher Education and Action” series to address the emerging popularity of Generative AI and ChatGPT. The first seminar, titled “GenAI Playbook – 3 ways to bring ChatGPT into your classroom”, was conducted on 26 October 2023 by Mr Donn Gonda, a Lecturer from the Faculty of Education at the University of Hong Kong. The seminar introduced three ways to incorporate ChatGPT into teaching. Participants got the opportunity to engage in hands-on sessions, which will hopefully transform their approach to education and introduce innovative teaching techniques.

The second seminar, titled “Enhancing Education: Exploring the Potential of Generative AI in Assessment, Teaching Applications, and Strategies”, was conducted on 31 October 2023 by Ir Dr Y. M. Tang, a Senior Teaching Fellow from the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Participants in the seminar discovered how generative AI can unlock new dimensions in assessment design, enabling evaluations that are not only insightful but also efficient and tailored to each student’s progress. From intelligent feedback systems to dynamic assessment frameworks, participants uncovered the limitless possibilities that generative AI brings to their classroom.

教與學發展中心舉辦兩場研討會「生成型人工智能技術：應用與實踐」, 旨在探討人工智能和ChatGPT的興起與普及。 

第一場研討會名為「生成型 人工智能手冊 – 將ChatGPT引入您的課堂的三種方法」，由香港大學教育學院講師Donn Gonda先生在2023年10月26日主持。研討會介紹了三種將ChatGPT有效融入教學的策略。參與者有機會參與實踐環節，從而啟發他們引入創新教學方式。 

第二場研討會名為「提升教育質素：探索生成型 人工智能在評估、教學應用和策略的潛力」，由香港理工大學工業及系統工程學系的高級專任導師鄧育明博士於2023年10月31日主持。研討會參與者了解到生成型 人工智能如何開拓評估設計的新視野，實現既具有洞察力﹑高效且能根據每個學生的進度進行個性化評估。從智能反饋系統到動態評估框架，參與者領會到生成型 人工智能帶給教學的無窮可能。
