Logeswaran, Dean of the Faculty of Computing and Digital Technology at HELP University, spearheaded a comprehensive training session at SNJK Yu Hua in Kajang. The session, attended by over 140 educators, focused on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into assessment methodologies, revolutionising how teachers approach student evaluations in the digital age.
The training session began with an in-depth exploration of various AI technologies and their potential applications in educational settings. Prof. LOGESWARAN underscored the importance of leveraging AI tools to streamline assessment processes while maintaining academic rigor. Participants were guided through the nuances of crafting AI-driven assessments, emphasising the need for well-designed prompts that align with learning objectives and foster critical thinking among students.
One of the session’s highlights was the practical demonstration of AI-enabled automated marking systems. Teachers engaged in hands-on exercises using innovative platforms like ChatGPT to generate and evaluate assessment questions. This interactive approach not only familiarised educators with cutting-edge AI tools but also empowered them to explore new avenues for enhancing assessment efficiency and accuracy.
Addressing ethical considerations was a crucial component of the training.

The session fostered open dialogue on ethical implications, ensuring that educators are equipped to uphold academic standards while harnessing AI capabilities responsibly.
Furthermore, Prof. LOGESWARAN introduced HELP University’s SHARK Deck programme during the session. This initiative offers students opportunities to gain certification in AI, Technopreneurship, and Business Plan Pitching free of charge. The programme aims to equip future professionals with essential skills in AI integration and entrepreneurial thinking, preparing them to thrive in the increasingly digital and competitive global landscape.
The collaboration between HELP University and SNJK Yu Hua underscores a commitment to innovation in education. By equipping educators with advanced AI knowledge and practical skills, the training session not only enhances teaching practices but also prepares students for success in a rapidly evolving digital economy.
