The 7th Education Transformation and Innovation (ETI) Salon, held on June 30, highlighted how pioneering AI-empowered education platforms are directly adding value to the student learning journey. Professor CHENG Ran, Associate Professor, Department of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DSAI) introduced EvoClass, a championship-winning, multi-agent education platform designed to bridge cognitive gaps by establishing a "co-evolutionary" learning ecosystem. Already successfully piloted in DSAI2201 Data Structures and Algorithms, the platform accelerates a student's personal growth by offering context-aware feedback and an adaptive learning loop. By automating repetitive tasks, it advances technology equity, bringing scalable, private-tutor-level precision directly to individual learners.
Shifting the perspective toward active student creation, Dr ZHANG Mingjin, Research Assistant Professor, Department of Computing (COMP) introduced WiseLearn, a code-free platform that transforms students from passive tech consumers into master creators of their own academic tools. Through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface grounded strictly in verified university materials, students can build personalised "EduAgents," such as customized IELTS speaking partners or interactive study assistants. The platform's real-world value is already clear in COMP2322 Computer Networks, where a dedicated course agent supports over 100 students with 24/7 Q&A assistance and analyses user query patterns to generate targeted, personalised revision suggestions. Together, both platforms ensure that the future student journey is uniquely collaborative, adaptive, and deeply personalised and driving the Education4.0 vision.
