As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly embedded in education, teachers need not only to develop the skills to use AI tools effectively, but also to understand how they can be combined with appropriate pedagogical approaches to maximise their impact on learning. Through practical examples across different subject areas, this seminar will explore how suitable AI tools can be selected according to learning objectives and effectively integrated into pre-lesson, in-class and post-lesson learning activities to enhance student engagement, learning effectiveness and self-directed learning. The seminar will cover the development of a school-based Knowledge Management System, the use of AI to design differentiated learning tasks that cater for learner diversity, and the integration of process writing and AI-generated feedback to support students in continuously refining and improving their work. In addition, participants will learn how AI-generated images and videos, together with interactive learning resources, can be used to transform abstract concepts and learning difficulties into more accessible and engaging learning experiences, building connections between visual understanding and logical reasoning to help students overcome conceptual barriers. The seminar will also examine how AI can support lesson preparation, teaching material development and curriculum renewal, enabling more interactive, targeted and effective teaching and learning practices.

As generative artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into educational practice, teachers must not only master the operational tools but also cultivate the capacity for responsible AI adoption. Grounded in AI ethics, this seminar explores the professional role and pedagogical judgement of teachers when utilising AI. It introduces prompt engineering and human–AI collaboration strategies to support educators in striking a balance between innovative practice and core educational values. The seminar also shares practical experiences of AI integration in mathematics education (AI in Maths) as well as across teaching and learning (AI in Teaching and Learning). It demonstrates how effective prompting can support lesson design, learning activities, and student engagement, facilitating the effective use of AI in the classroom.

Organised by the Institute of Future Learning of the City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK), this four-session professional training aims to support current school teachers in designing and prototyping GenAI-powered story-writing agents that address language-learning needs in their own schools. Through a blend of practical lectures, hands-on workshops and Project-Based Learning (PBL), participants will move from foundational concepts to implementable GenAI solutions that provide personalised language learning, scaffold students’ creativity through story writing, and promote cultural sensitivity in teaching and learning.

As generative artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, AI technologies are advancing beyond traditional chatbot applications to intelligent agents (AI Agents) capable of autonomously planning and executing tasks. These AI Agents can support teachers with lesson preparation, teaching resource development and administrative work, helping to enhance productivity and teaching effectiveness. This seminar will introduce the core concepts of AI Agents and their applications in education. Through school-based case studies and practical demonstrations, participants will explore how AI can support lesson planning, differentiated instruction, teaching resource development and the accommodation of learning diversity. The seminar will also showcase how customised Skills can be used to streamline and optimise everyday workflows. In addition, participants will learn how AI Agents can assist with meeting minute preparation, document drafting and routine administrative processes. No programming knowledge is required. By leveraging AI effectively, teachers can improve work efficiency and dedicate more time to teaching practice, student support and meaningful teacher-student interaction.

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into teaching and learning, educators need to consider not only how to use AI tools effectively, but also how to uphold student-centred pedagogical principles in a technology-enhanced environment. This seminar explores the effective integration of human-centred pedagogy and AI, examining how AI can be leveraged to support self-directed learning, promote cognitive development, and cultivate students’ critical thinking, creativity, and inquiry skills. Through case studies and classroom application demonstrations, participants will explore how AI can be used to design engaging and thought-provoking learning activities that enhance student participation and motivation, while avoiding over-reliance on AI that may hinder the development of deep thinking and independent learning capabilities. The seminar will also enable educators to gain insights into creating learning environments that balance technological innovation with human values, harnessing AI as a tool to enhance learning and nurture students’ self-directed learning, lifelong learning, and future-ready competencies.
