This session was held at TransformED 2025 for an audience of over 200, where participants learnt to design and produce an engaging micro-learning video content using generative AI tools in a simple three-stage process. By the end of the workshop, participants were able to utilise GenAI to generate a video script using the prompt provided, use Descript to create the micro-learning videos, and reflect on the quality of micro-learning content created during the session, regardless of their video production experience or skills prior to the session.
This session brought together 66 educators from various disciplines and explored the evolving role of universities in the age of AI. Their key takeaways highlighted the continued relevance of universities beyond knowledge acquisition, emphasising their role in building emotional intelligence and critical thinking. Participants agreed that while AI can personalise learning, human-to-human connection remains crucial. Educators shared innovative AI applications in teaching, including simulating public responses, evaluating AI-generated content, and developing interactive learning mechanics. The session also highlighted the importance of responsible AI use, alongside ongoing challenges in assessment redesign, with educators experimenting with alternatives such as verbal explanations and demonstrations.
In this session, Kimberly introduced educators to GenAI-assisted tools such as NotebookLM, demonstrating how they can be used to create engaging microlearning materials, including audio-visual overviews, flashcards and quizzes. Participants found the session helpful and appreciated the practical demonstrations on integrating AI tools into teaching. Several suggested having more hands-on practice and exploring related tools such as Descript AI (an AI video and podcast editor) in future sessions.
The Department of Psychology held a seminar that brought together over twenty participants, including academic staff and HDR students from the Department of Psychology. The session, led by Dr Dawei Zhang, explored how large language models mirror human cognitive and psychological mechanisms, from the “attention” system in transformers to communication dynamics such as anthropomorphism and prompt engineering.
This workshop introduced educators to innovative approaches that integrate artificial intelligence and game-based learning to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. The session explored how AI tools can personalise learning experiences and support the design of gamified educational materials. This workshop empowered educators to rethink traditional teaching methods and embrace AI as a catalyst for active learning, creativity, and innovation in education.
School of Pathways and Immersion (SPI) held a sharing session where two educators shared their current uses of AI to strategically enhance student learning experiences in and out of the classroom. Ms Tasia Khoo, a tutor for the elective unit, AMU2455 Community and the Environment in Malaysia, shared how she and the chief examiner crafted specific face-to-face workshop exercises that encouraged students to use their preferred AI LLM tool to research subject matters related to the study unit. Mr Johnson Mathelamuthu, a Diploma of Business senior educator at SPI, designed an AI chatbot to help students with any inquiries or concerns related to the academic content for the study unit, MMD1010 Accounting 101.
