COMS Faculty Member Shares Practices of Generative AI in Classroom COMS Faculty Member Shares Practices of Generative AI in Classroom

Dr Florin C Serban from COMS presented his experience implementing Generative AI (GenAI) in university courses. The AI Playground event, organised by the Centre for Holistic Teaching and Learning and hosted by the HKBU library, focused on practical applications of AI tools in higher education.

Dr Serban showcased how tools like Midjourney and DALL-E can be integrated into media design courses, allowing students to create illustrations and visual content. His approach emphasises a supervised use of these technologies, where instructors guide students in understanding the capabilities and limitations of AI tools.

The presentation outlined specific strategies for AI integration, including prompt refinement techniques and iterative processes. Dr Serban supports incorporating these tools into course curricula, arguing that students benefit from using AI technologies under faculty supervision rather than discovering them independently.
