Generative AI for Effective Teaching and Learning
Trainer: Dr Chuah Kee Man (FELC, UNIMAS - kmchuah@unimas.my)
Facilitator: Mr Faidz Felani Majeri (FELC, UNIMAS - mffelani@unimas.my)
The one rule behind everything
You stay the teacher in charge.
AI may help you draft, explain, design and summarise. It may never be the one who decides what is true, what is fair to assess, or what goes out under your name to students and parents. The AI is a fast, forgetful assistant who has never met your learners.
Used this way, AI does not replace professional judgement. It removes the blank page, the retyping and the hour lost formatting a worksheet. What used to be a whole evening becomes a draft you review and improve.
Who this is for
Teachers, lecturers and trainers of any subject
No technical background is needed. If you plan lessons, prepare slides, record explanations, set quizzes or write reports, everything here applies directly to your work.
What you will be able to do
- Explain the core concepts of generative AI and how they apply to teaching and learning.
- Apply essential and advanced prompt engineering techniques to produce quality educational content.
- Create instructional videos using AI avatars, script-to-video and AI editing tools.
- Design presentations and visual aids using AI slide-generation tools.
- Generate lesson plans, assessments and data summaries with AI.
- Use generative AI responsibly and ethically in education and training settings.
