The Community of Practice (CoP) on “Enriching Future-Ready Education with GenAI and Beyond” is a newly established initiative under the Hong Kong Teaching Excellence Alliance (HKTEA) and supported by the Hong Kong University Grants Committee (UGC). It aims to bring together educators, administrators, and experts from Hong Kong’s higher education and school sectors, as well as those from HEIs around the world, to drive innovative implementation, share best practices, and strategize for the age of generative AI (GenAI).
GenAI impacts education, the workforce, daily life, and all stakeholders, making it crucial to enhance our pedagogical practices to better prepare students for the future. It also reshapes teaching and learning, prompting educational institutions to rethink education, redesign learning content and assessments, and offer personalised and interactive educational experiences. Through workshops, events, and partnerships with local and international experts, our CoP seeks to advance education development and research, address shared challenges, pilot innovative approaches, and enhance learning outcomes.
This CoP proposes to build a community and act as a platform to:
- gather local and international teachers and increase their interest in, and capacity of, enriching future-ready education with the use of GenAI and beyond;
- serve as a space for members to share and exchange ideas on the theme and its potential and applications, facilitating future research and project collaborations;
- promote collaboration between teachers across institutions, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and community building;
- encourage collaboration between institutions and EdTech industries, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and exchange of ideas on product assessment,
- co-develop an AI assessment policy that is evidence-based, pedagogically sound, and aligned with evolving educational needs, ensuring that AI integration supports learning while maintaining academic integrity; and
- provide updates on the theme to staff in both the UGC and the self-financed institutions and offer informed discussion opportunities across these two sectors.
