SUMMARY:Untitled: A.I. and Transformations to Teaching and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Untitled: A.I. and Transformations to Teaching and Learning \n  \nThe rapid technological advances in AI deep generative models have significant and disruptive implications for teaching and learning within higher education. While there are questions and issues around academic honesty\, plagiarism\, creativity\, and originality – the potential to enhance student learning is substantial. \nJoin us for this hands-on workshop as we demonstrate the possibilities of text generation (GPT-3) and text-to-image applications (Stable Diffusion\, Midjourney\, DALL-E-2). We hope to provoke thinking and conversations around interdisciplinary and disciplinary applications for teachers. Moreover\, we hope the examples will shed light on the urgent need to re-design curriculums and assessments. \nDate/ Time: 14 December 2022 (10 am – 11 am) Via Zoom  \nFacilitators:\nDr Jack Tsao\, Associate Director\, Common Core\nMr Donn Gonda\, Instructional Designer\, Centre for Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL) \nRegistration: https://hkuems1.hku.hk/hkuems/ec_hdetail.aspx?ueid=85473 \nOpen to all HKU teachers \nThis workshop is a collaboration between Communication Intensive Courses (CiC)\, Common Core\, and the Centre for the Enhancement for Teaching and Learning.

SUMMARY:The Critical Engagement of Higher Education with Future Crises
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Adrian Lam\, Common Core Course Tutor and Research Group Member \nThis contemporary world is no stranger to crises of all kinds\, for instance\, the outbreak of the COVD-19 pandemic since late 2019. Nonetheless\, the higher education sector has been regrettably slow and stagnant in the wake of these crises. Lamentably\, the contemporary higher education sector could and should contribute in many ways\, but have failed to do so. This presentation will mainly discuss three aspects of higher education – curriculum design\, learner empowerment\, and interdisciplinarity – arguing what went wrong and what should be further changed. In particular\, the presentation will also consider the potentials of the Common Core Curriculum at the University of Hong Kong in leading and facilitating the changes. All these transformations will be essential in shaping a more sustainable and resilient higher education system under the “new normal”. \nAdrian Lam graduated from the University of Hong Kong with a Master of Education in Curriculum and Pedagogy\, a Postgraduate Diploma in Education in Secondary English\, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in English Studies and Politics and Public Administration. He has extensive research and teaching experience in both the disciplines of education and political science. \nAll HKU staff and students are welcome \nPlease register here
