Objectives
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 :
-
Establish a collaborative network for cross-sector stakeholders in education, research, industry, and civil society.
-
Cultivate cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral collaboration through synergistic knowledge exchange.
-
Champion excellence in AI pedagogy by advancing best practices and operationalising innovations.
-
Position Hong Kong as an international AI education hub through thought leadership and globally impactful educational models.
The CoP was initiated by key members representing the eight UGC-funded universities in Hong Kong. These organisations and institutions have contributed invaluable support, and they are:
