Abstract

While AI can make learning frictionless, meaningful education requires deliberate engagement—a “slow food” approach to foster deep, satisfying learning. This necessity calls for pedagogical tools and platforms designed to craft challenging and enlightening experiences.

This seminar explores how the innovative HKU LMS platform, Vox, transforms teaching and learning in class and online. It begins with an overview of Vox’s features for creating engaging learning journeys. Subsequently, three HKU educators from diverse disciplines (Education, Humanities, and Dentistry) will present case studies on using Vox to cultivate essential skills in the AI era. Their presentations will contextualize how the platform facilitates strategies such as the flipped classroom, peer review, video commentary, and collaborative group work.

Ideal for educators interested in practical technology integration, this session will offer strategies to foster deep learning, skills development, peer engagement, and reflective practice in professional education.
