TALES 10 - Agentic AI as Coaches in Experiential Learning

AI is often viewed simply as a tool for quick answers, but relying solely on rapid responses can discourage critical thinking, limit curiosity, and reduce opportunities for deeper learning. What if AI could instead act as an active coach—sparking inquiry and fostering meaningful understanding? This seminar is designed for principals, teachers, community school educators, and program directors managing large classes who remain committed to providing authentic and individualized scaffolding.

A key focus will be experiential learning, a pedagogic approach that engages students in real-world, context-rich environments to deepen understanding across a diverse range of subjects—from health and social studies to the arts and history.

Led by Prof. Chitat Chan (Academy of Wellness and Human Development, HKBU) and Miss Josephine Wu (Curriculum Development Officer, Technology Education, Innovation Technology Education Division, EDB), alongside guest educators and students, this seminar invites you to discover how agentic AI can support students in authentic learning experiences by facilitating idea development, research, and reflective practice.
