AI is revolutionising content creation, but the best results arise from a synergy between human creativity and AI efficiency. This concurrent session will explore how AI tools enhance, rather than replace, human ingenuity in content production specifically for the immersive extended reality (XR) medium. We’ll discuss real-world applications of AI in writing and media design, highlighting where AI excels and where human intervention is crucial. Attendees will learn practical frameworks for co-creating with AI, optimising workflow efficiency without sacrificing originality.

The session will also address the common pitfalls of AI-assisted content creation—such as over-reliance on automation and ethical considerations—offering actionable strategies to maintain authenticity while delivering the desired outcomes of your spatial learning and development experiences.

In an era marked by rapid technological transformation, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into education presents unprecedented opportunities to enhance both teaching and learning experiences. This talk explores a holistic approach to AI-augmented education, focusing specifically on applied learning in higher education in which the emphasis is on realistic problem solving and authentic assessment. We will examine different aspects of teaching and learning in which AI can potentially improve current practices, and how they may be able to complement each other to form a holistic learner-centric approach, which is also manageable and meaningful to instructors. Drawing on the growing global collective experience, we will review what is already possible with minimal effort, compared with the utopian scenario towards which we can aspire. Participants will leave with actionable insights into how AI can be strategically implemented to foster an inclusive, engaging, and impactful applied learning ecosystem.

As AI reshapes the world at lightning speed, mastering basic prompt engineering is no longer enough. This talk explores the critical technologies and mindsets needed to stay ahead. We will dive into the frontier of embodied AI—where robotics brings intelligence into the physical world—and how digital twins and simulation enable safe, scalable experimentation. We will also explore agentic AI, where systems don't just respond but plan, act, and adapt autonomously. To succeed in this new era, we need more than curiosity; we also need a structured path to mastery to harness these innovations. This talk introduces a three-pillar system to build deep tech fluency: theoretical grounding to understand the "why," practical partnerships with researchers and developers for hands-on exploration, and on-the-job learning to apply knowledge in real-world contexts. Whether you are a student, an AI practitioner, or exploring how AI can add value to your organization, this session will help you navigate beyond surface-level AI tools and position yourself at the heart of the next wave of technological disruption.

As AI continues to transform industries, organisations must equip their workforce with the right skills to stay competitive. This session explores how Certis is preparing its employees for the AI-driven future, integrating AI into daily operations to enhance efficiency, decision-making, and innovation. Learn key strategies for building AI capabilities, including structured learning programmes, hands-on applications, and leadership-driven initiatives. Participants will gain insights into fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptation, ensuring employees can effectively leverage AI tools. By the end of the session, attendees will take away practical approaches to AI upskilling, insights into workforce transformation, and strategies to future-proof talent, embedding AI literacy across functions to drive business growth while empowering employees.

This presentation will share insights from the Innovation in the Business of Learning study that IAL carried out in 2023 and 2024 as well as a real-life use case by SAL.

We will discuss the state of innovation within the training and adult education sector in Singapore, and the conditions that need to be met for training organisations to become innovative. We will then explore the question of whether AI can help to meet these conditions. SAL will then share on how they have used AI to reduce resource requirements for high-quality training, enhance utilisation of skills, and expand their reach to more learners.

This session examines how NP leverages Gen AI-powered Teaching & Learning Assistants to enhance flipped learning, supporting both online async learning and in-person tutorials as virtual co-facilitators.

The case study highlights Gen AI as a Learning Assistant in the Law & Governance (CET) and Business Law (PET) modules from the School of Business & Accountancy. It explores how a Gen AI tutor provides 24/7 personalised support, guiding students through case-based learning with real-time feedback to deepen their understanding and application of legal concepts. We also share early experimentation with use of real-time voice assistants during in-person learning tutorials as a virtual co-facilitator.

The session concludes with insights, observations, and future directions for T& L assistants in flipped learning environments.

Organisations are adopting digital transformation with AI and technology for enhanced productivity. The key concern is embracing high tech leads to low (human) touch. It needs not be binary - we could adopt an "AND" instead of "OR" mindset in embracing learning and digital transformation. In Silver Generation Office, we adopt an holistic approach to embrace Digital Transformation in value-adding to our staff, volunteers and supporting our older adults. Pursuing this exciting journey with our shared vision in mind, reframing failures as learning, rooted in our values of Purpose, Care and Trust, and our Heart of Care Culture.

Labour market intel are useful in helping training providers (TPs) make informed decisions on curriculum and capacity planning, design and review.

Participants will be introduced to the Jobs-Skills (JS) Portal, SkillsFuture Singapore's one-stop platform for jobs-skills resources. Through a live demonstration, participants can observe how a training provider may utilise jobs-skills resources in their daily operations, providing insights into practical applications for fellow training providers.

The session will also provide a sneak preview into future jobs-skills dashboards and a teaser to a capability development programme to equip TPs with the know-how to use these dashboards.

Participants will be able to register their interest for the capability development programme at the session.

Modern workplaces are becoming increasingly complex and there is an urgent need for higher education to align classroom instruction with the practical demands of professional workplaces. Recent advances in generative AI (GenAI) offer an opportunity to implement role play in higher education, since Large Language Models (LLMs) today can mimic human behaviours very well. At NUS, we use LLMs to simulate realistic workplace interactions and generate context-rich scenarios that allow learners to learn domain-specific skills. In particular, we implemented role-playing scenarios with LLMs for diverse domains such as law and nursing to bridge the gap between academic instruction and workplace readiness. In this talk, we will describe what we did and share some learning points from our experience.
