The first session of the AI Tools for Teaching, Learning and Research workshop series, titled “Search, Cite, and Synthesise,” was successfully held on 24 July 2025 in D303. With 56 participants joining us — nearly a full house in D303! The session brought together teaching staff, academic support teams, and professional colleagues from across campus.
Speakers Dr Josephine Lau (CUHK), Mr Dick Chan (PolyU), and Ms Jenny Chan (HSUHK Library) introduced practical AI tools including Perplexity, NotebookLM, and Scite.ai, demonstrating how these tools can support academic workflows such as literature search, content synthesis, and citation evaluation.
The hands-on demonstrations and real-life use cases sparked engaging discussion, and participants appreciated the beginner-friendly, practical approach to AI integration in daily academic tasks. Stay tuned for Workshop 2 on AI in Data Analytics, coming this August!
