Empowering Educators: UET Lahore Hosts Workshop on Integrating AI in Course Planning and Delivery
Following the HEC’s AI Policy and emphasis on the ethical use of AI interventions in academics, the Continuing Engineering Education and Training Center at UET Lahore's New Campus organized a one-day workshop titled "Engaging Course Plan and Delivery Using AI Intervention" on June 6th, 2024.
Prof. Dr. S. Mohsin Ali Kazmi, Chairperson of the Chemical, Polymer, and Composite Materials Engineering Department, was the workshop's resource person. The event saw the participation of over 25 individuals from various engineering and science disciplines and professionals from related organizations. Attendees engaged in hands-on exercises demonstrating how ChatGPT can be integrated into course plans to develop both Low Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) and High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Through various use cases, participants learned that AI interventions, like ChatGPT, serve as facilitating tools for planning and delivering academic content.
It was emphasized that while these tools can be useful, they often produce biased content, necessitating careful review by faculty members before use. The workshop concluded with Prof. Dr. Shahid Imran delivering closing remarks and distributing certificates of participation to the attendees.
