Upcoming Frontier EdTech Events
Welcome to the Frontier Series for Educators.
The Frontier Series for Educators is a repertoire of professional development sessions organised by the Joint Polytechnic Academy for Educators (JP-AcE) for polytechnic educators. The Frontier Series aims to inspire lifelong learning, support reflective T&L practices, expand T&L capabilities and empower educators to be future-ready by exploring new educational trends and innovative ways of teaching and learning.
The Frontier Series has two key learning tracks currently. They are:
Upcoming Professional Development Events
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
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.
