Programme Content & Tools

Module 1: GenAI Landscape, Platforms, and Risk Mitigation
This foundational module provides an overarching view of the Generative AI ecosystem, covering core architectures such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Agentic AI, alongside a hands-on introduction to dominant AI platforms. Participants critically explore risk factors, including algorithmic bias, hallucinations, and accurate citation practices. Key learnings focus on working with modern AI, mitigating ethical risks in output, and initiating a capstone project.
Module 2: Communicating with AI: Prompt Techniques and Custom Assistants
Focusing on practical execution, this module equips educators with systematic prompt methodologies to extract optimal performance from large language models. Attendees move beyond basic prompting to build custom academic agents and complete a hands-on Capstone phase focused on course mapping, assignment creation, and the integration of faculty judgment. Key learnings include creative coursework design and assessment criteria that constructively incorporate AI tools.
Module 3: AI-Driven Pedagogical Innovation and Personalisation
This module reimagines traditional classroom paradigms by embedding AI into curriculum development, lesson planning, personalised learning, and summative assessment. The module also focuses on constructing and implementing actionable course-level AI policies. Key learnings emphasise drafting AI-enhanced teaching plans, structuring adaptive assessments to meet diverse student needs, and developing enforceable, transparent AI-use policies for classroom settings.
Module 4: AI for Advanced Research Productivity and Ethical Governance
Tailored for research scholars and academic leaders, this module addresses institutional AI ethics and governance, as well as practical frameworks for utilising AI as an end-to-end research assistant. Through structured Capstone exercises, participants will leverage AI across core research stages from problem formulation and literature mapping to methodology selection and analysis design. Key learnings centre on ethical AI communication, accelerating academic research workflows without compromising integrity, and the structured formulation of methodologies using intelligent assistants.
Module 5: Research Evaluation and Strategic AI Roadmap
The final module bridges research critique with academic administration, training faculty to critically review research papers using GenAI. The programme will culminate in a strategic planning where participants synthesise their learning into a comprehensive institutional AI roadmap. Key learnings focus on executing rigorous peer-review analyses with AI support, optimising administrative efficiency, and formulating executive roadmaps for campus-wide AI integration.
