New-age education needs new-age solutions

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), higher education institutions cannot stand aside. We have been also hearing a pressing question "Are educators ready to adapt assessment practices to keep pace with AI advancements?".

The workshop attracting nearly 200 delegates as quality assurance experts and officers 

In response to this question, LHU on November 14 afternoon, 2024 organized a workshop themed "Redesigning assessment in the age of AI". The workshop brought together nearly 200 delegates, including digital transformation experts, quality assurance officers, and lecturers from 11 higher education institutions to share, exchange, and find new directions suited to the context of Education 4.0. In particular, there were keynote speakers as digital transformation experts including Dr. Tran Duc Linh from RMIT University Vietnam and Dr. Le Phuong Truong from LHU.

The workshop recorded positive feedback and sharings around the theme “AI competency framework for lecturers and students in higher education”, providing the delegates with a deeper insight into how AI can change the nature of teaching and learning. One of the key highlights is the role of the AI competency framework – a fundamental factor that helps lecturers and students shape the mindset and essential skills to meet the requirements of the future labor market.
