1.Webinar: The Truth in the Classroom: Beyond Checking, Rethinking Design

The line between human-made and machine-generated is thinner than ever. From deepfake breaking news to "perfect" student essays, educators face an information crisis. This one-hour sharing session moves away from the "detect and punish" cycle to focus on pedagogical resilience. We will start by using tools to understand how AI constructs "truth" online. Then, we shift inward using a simple scorecard, let us rethink our classroom tasks to ensure they prioritize lived experience, critical process, and personal voice, elements a machine cannot replicate.

Dr. Zhang Huiyu is a Senior Academic Mentor at Temasek Polytechnic’s School of Informatics & IT. Leveraging a wealth of experience in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, she specializes in using technology to drive educational inclusivity. A recipient of several institutional and national honors for teaching excellence and innovation, her recent work focuses on using AI to preserve and revitalize heritage languages like Baba Malay, ensuring digital outcomes are both linguistically authentic and culturally grounded.

2. Workshop: Enhancing Case-Based Learning with Generative AI: Effective Practical & Pedagogical Strategies

Banner for "Enhancing Case-Based Learning with Generative AI" workshop on 15 May 2026.

This hybrid workshop will involve customising AI assistants.
Participants can attend in-person or online.

If you are new to using GenAI assistants, it is recommended to attend in person in NYP, Blk A, Level 3, Room 321.

Case‑Based Learning (CBL) strengthens critical thinking, real‑world application, and reflective judgment. Generative AI enhances these outcomes by supporting rapid scenario creation, multimodal resources, personalised scaffolding, and efficient iteration of case variations. This workshop provides educators with the pedagogical foundations, practical techniques, and ethical considerations needed to integrate AI meaningfully into CBL. It also addresses GenAI’s inherent probabilistic behaviour and demonstrates how to apply constraints to produce consistent, reliable, and learning‑aligned case materials.

Date: 15 May 2026
Time: 2PM - 5PM
Venue: Nanyang Polytechnic, Block A, Level 3, Room A321 (Located at CTLD department)
