Abstract
Education in Times of Crisis: Conducting Practical Sessions With Technologies
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought one pressing question to educators: How can we sustain teaching and learning effectiveness during the difficult and adverse situation? This question is especially troublesome for subjects with practical elements when lab equipment and facilities become inaccessible and unavailable. In this presentation, I plan to address the question by sharing some recent developments and successful cases of using technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in content creation, knowledge delivery, and outcome assessment particularly for experiential learning during times of crisis.
