Abstract
Following the remarkable success of the GenAI Discussion Forum Series in October 2024, TALIC will be hosting the second discussion forum series in April 2025 to continue the institutional-wide dialogue about leveraging GenAI in the classroom. Colleagues from various faculties and academic units will share their effective use of GenAI in teaching, learning and assessment, with the aim of inspiring participants to optimise their pedagogical designs and practices with suitable GenAI tools. From the sharing sessions in four consecutive weeks, participants could learn about innovative utilisation of ChatGPT, Midjourney and other GenAI tools, discipline-specific applications of AI-powered virtual reality simulation, and AI corpus. The sharing sessions will provide HKU colleagues with a platform for dissemination of good practices, knowledge exchange and network building.
