University subjects demand highly specific, discipline-tailored tools — yet most ready-made educational platforms only offer generic, one-size-fits-all solutions. Creating custom interactive apps from scratch has long been a nightmare for busy academics: it requires advanced IT skills, weeks (or months) of development time, and frustrating communication barriers with developers or teaching assistants.

Thanks to the rapid advancement of Generative AI, that nightmare is over. You can now design and build powerful, personalized interactive teaching tools in minutes — without any prior coding experience. With GenAI, you can become the creator of your own innovative teaching resources.

In this practical workshop, the speaker will share real-world experiences developing interactive apps for diverse university subjects, ranging from Ancient Chinese Mathematics to modern Statistics. You will discover key principles for effective GenAI-assisted development, know about some useful skills in prompting, watch live demonstrations of real-time app creation, and participate in hands-on practices.

Bring your own laptop and register a Google account in advance to get the most out of the session. By the end, you will see how easy it is to create your own custom tools — dynamic graphs, concept visualization, simulators, adaptive games — that perfectly fit your teaching needs and engage your students more deeply in any discipline.
