ILA1002 Artificial Intelligence: Technological and Human Foundations | This course aims to help you develop an integrated foundational knowledge of AI and its transformational potential across many fields, especially education. The course is targeted at educators who want to develop a firmer understanding of AI that can guide their teaching practice and beyond. As a participant, you will learn about the technological foundations of how computers learn, as well as become familiar with concepts such as artificial narrow intelligence, generative artificial intelligence, artificial general intelligence, artificial superintelligence, and how to apply them. You will achieve this aim at a no-code, conceptual and practical level. You will also learn to integrate important human foundations of AI such as ethics, fairness, safety, responsibility, governance, and others. Specific case studies that integrate technology with human considerations from both non-education and education fields will be utilised. Click here for more details about the course. |
ILA1003 Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for Education: Innovations and Implications | This course aims to introduce the transformative potential of artificial intelligence for education (AIED) to professionals in the educational fraternity (e.g., teachers and learning or assessment specialists). As a practitioner-oriented course, it is applied in nature and addresses pedagogical considerations in employing AI for education. As a course participant, you will be able to deepen your understanding of AI and related applications for educational purposes. Additionally, you will have opportunities to critique AI tools on their strengths and limitations, reflect on implications for education, and conceptualise how to use AI tools meaningfully and ethically in your respective contexts.
