The workshop covered a wide range of topics, beginning with an introduction to the role of artificial intelligence in higher education, highlighting what AI can offer university instructors and the importance of staying up to date with emerging AI tools. Participants were introduced to key categories of AI applications currently used in education. Practical sessions focused on AI tools for creating lecture slides and course materials, summarizing course content, and producing educational videos, including fast video generation and talking avatar lectures. The workshop also explored AI-powered tools for image generation, diagrams, and infographics to enhance visual learning. In addition, the workshop addressed AI tools designed to improve student engagement, such as interactive platforms, AI-powered teaching assistants, and tools for creating assignments and assessment rubrics. Attention was also given to how AI can enhance faculty productivity by supporting administrative tasks and, optionally, research assistance.
The program concluded with a discussion of ethical and practical considerations related to AI use in education, followed by live demonstrations, a Q&A session, and the sharing of useful resources. This workshop reflects the university’s ongoing commitment to faculty development and innovation in teaching and learning, in line with global trends in digital transformation and the responsible use of artificial intelligence in higher education.
