The project was led by Dr Muk Yan Wong, Director of Common Core Curriculum, with Dr Joyce Chan, Ms Esther Chok, Mr Wilson Kung, and Mr Kelvin Wan serving as project team members.
The BEAM (Bot-Enhanced Assessment for Meta Learning) project, led by the Common Core Curriculum Office (CCCO) and supported through cross-unit collaboration has been shortlisted for the QS Reimagine Education Awards 2025 under the Learning Assessment category.
The Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL), through its Digital Learning Section, contributed to the project by providing pedagogical design recommendations and technical suggestions on the effective integration of Generative AI into assessment practices. Mr Kelvin Wan, Digital Learning Specialist, supported the project in areas including AI-enhanced assessment design, student-centred learning strategies, and the responsible use of AI for formative and continuous feedback. This marks the second time the Digital Learning Section has been shortlisted in the QS Reimagine Education Awards, following a previous shortlisting in the Best Use of Generative AI category.
Piloted in a General Education module, BEAM reimagines assessment as a student-centred and iterative learning process, enabling students to co-create assessment rubrics, engage with customised AI chatbots for real-time feedback, and refine their work through continuous improvement. The project demonstrates strong potential to enhance meta-learning, learner agency, and assessment literacy, while remaining adaptable across disciplines.
The project was also presented at the QS Reimagine Education Awards Conference on 1 December by Dr Muk Yan Wong, providing an opportunity to share HSUHK’s innovative assessment practices with an international audience.
The QS Reimagine Education shortlisting affirms HSUHK’s commitment to innovative and responsible approaches to assessment, as well as the value of collaboration between academic and professional units in advancing teaching and learning excellence.
