Affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, even if the school has resumed classes, but the half-day teaching is maintained, the interaction will decrease with the maintenance of social distance.

In response to schools’ needs for online teaching, the Education University of Hong Kong and Microsoft Hong Kong signed a memorandum of cooperation to add artificial intelligence elements to the Bachelor’s Courses of "Mathematics Education" and "Information and Communication Technology Education".

Some students who are participating in the internship said that the integration of AI elements into teaching and increased teacher-student interaction can help stimulate thinking and curiosity.

Another student believes that with Microsoft Teams, homework can be distributed and collected in real time to understand the strengths and weaknesses of students.

The University of Education will launch two new "IT in Education Skills Test" options for students to choose from, including the Student Teacher Technology Learning Program (STEP).

At present, all students of the University of Education's bachelor's degree courses, postgraduate diploma courses of postgraduate education and full-time higher diploma courses must complete the "IT Education Skills Test". The University of Education will introduce two new test options.

The first is the student-teacher science and technology learning program (STEP), which helps to grasp the new trends of online teaching methods, network security, and social and cultural awareness of online teaching; the second is the artificial intelligence literacy cultivation plan to obtain and use artificial intelligence platforms The actual combat experience, learning data training, in disguised form, students will choose one of three to participate as needed.

The University of Education will issue certificates to students who have successfully passed the above two Microsoft projects to prove their ability to use information technology.

Launch the "Artificial Intelligence and Educational Technology" master's program as soon as September next year

In addition, the University of Education is preparing to launch the "Artificial Intelligence and Educational Technology" master's course. After completion, you can apply for the relevant certification exam for Microsoft Azure cloud application artificial intelligence engineers.

In order to enhance the digital and technological literacy of future teachers, the University of Education and Microsoft Hong Kong signed a memorandum of cooperation.

Intern teachers rely on AI to increase teacher-student interaction

Chen Hao, a fifth-grade student who has participated in STEP and is studying mathematics education, said that during the internship period, he used the GeoGebra program to create worksheets to add multiple-choice questions. After students answer the questions, the teacher can instantly view the scores to see if the students have systematic errors.

He said that he is only returning to school for half-day classes at the moment. In the afternoon, it is changed to online teaching. It is difficult to know the reaction of students without face-to-face instruction, but using OneNote can instantly know their learning situation.

Zhou Zhuolin, a fifth-grade student in Information and Communication Technology, said that this is the second time to participate in the internship. In the past, “most of the classes have to be taught by me, and students listen to me.” Sometimes they will join classroom activities to increase interaction; but the school requires maintenance during the epidemic. Social distance, real-time interaction with students through Microsoft Teams.

She also pointed out that other teachers in teaching schools seldom use intelligent software to integrate into teaching, and they become the first movers to try it out. If it is effective, teachers in other subjects are more confident to follow.

Enrollment in master's programs is not limited to in-service teachers

Jiang Shaoxiang, director of the Educational Technology Center of the University of Education, said that teachers’ IT skills are no longer simply limited to using PowerPoint, Excel, etc. In the past, relevant courses have also focused on filming. Under the epidemic, the demand for online teaching in schools has greatly increased. If scientific tools are used to integrate education, It helps to enhance the competitiveness of graduates and responds quickly to school needs.

Zheng Guocheng, acting dean of the Department of Mathematics and Information Technology at the University of Education, also added that AI has penetrated into different industries, but it is not widely used in education. There are relatively few courses combining AI with education. Therefore, we hope to nurture future teachers to welcome the new Times, and the "Artificial Intelligence and Educational Technology" master's program that will be opened in the future will not be limited to in-service teachers, and people in statistics, engineering, and computer science are also welcome to enroll.
