Time : 12:30pm – 1:30pm

Venue : Learning Lab (RRS321, 3/F, Run Run Shaw Building, Main Campus, HKU)

Abstract

Many tools offer exciting possibilities in the ever-evolving fields of GenAI and educational technology (EdTech). To help educators harness the power of these tools, we offer a series of workshops focused on the most commonly used GenAI and EdTech tools. Participants will better understand and integrate these tools into their teaching practices through these workshops. They will be provided with practical examples of their application in real-world scenarios. This is a unique opportunity to explore and leverage these tools to enhance the educational experience for both teachers and students.

[25 Feb 2026] Workshop 1 - Understanding Workflow Automation with n8n

Date : 25 Feb 2026 (Wed)

Time : 12:30pm – 1:30pm

Venue : Learning Lab (RRS 321 Run Run Shaw Building, Main Campus, HKU)

Speaker : Dr. Carson Hung, Lecturer / E-learning Technologist, TALIC, HKU

Quota : 30

Abstract

This workshop provides a foundational introduction to workflow automation using the n8n platform. Participants will gain hands-on experience building automated workflows through practical examples. This session lays the groundwork for the upcoming follow-up workshop, “Exploring AI Agent with n8n”.

[4 Mar 2026] Workshop 2 - Exploring AI agent with n8n

Date : 4 Mar 2026 (Wed)

Time : 12:30pm – 1:30pm

Venue : Learning Lab (RRS 321 Run Run Shaw Building, Main Campus, HKU)

Speaker : Dr. Carson Hung, Lecturer / E-learning Technologist, TALIC, HKU

Registration Deadline: 3 Mar 2026 (Tue) - 5:00pm

Abstract

AI agents are becoming a major trend in 2025–26. With tool use, LLM capabilities can be extended to handle a wider range of tasks and solve more complex problems. In this workshop, we will explore how to build an AI agent in n8n using a practical, hands-on example. Attending the first n8n workshop will provide a helpful foundation, but it is not a strict prerequisite.

[24 Mar 2026] Workshop 3 - Vibe Coding with Cursor: An Introduction

Date : 24 Mar 2026 (Tue)

Time : 1:00pm – 2:00pm

Venue : Learning Lab (RRS 321 Run Run Shaw Building, Main Campus, HKU)

Speaker : Dr. Carson Hung, Lecturer / E-learning Technologist, TALIC, HKU

Abstract

Vibe coding is an emerging approach to programming that uses natural human language as the primary way to write and refine code. In this introductory workshop, teachers will explore the concept and current trends of vibe coding and experiment with Cursor, an AI enhanced code editor. Through guided, hands on activities, participants will use vibe coding to build a simple web page or small tool, laying the foundation for a subsequent, more in depth workshop where they will create a chatbot interface and connect it to an n8n workflow using VS Code and GitHub Copilot.
