Empowerment Workshop

Empowerment Workshop

Through empowerment workshops and lectures, the center’s faculty and students continue to grow, broaden their perspectives, and steadily accumulate research and development capabilities while promoting research outcomes.

2025 Workshop

Research Design and Thesis Writing Strategies for Educational Applications of Generative AI

  • This workshop, led by Professor Gwo-Jen Hwang from the center, focuses on methods and strategies for effectively applying AI tools in academic writing. Participants will learn how to integrate generative AI into research design and thesis development to enhance the quality and efficiency of scholarly work in educational research.

104 Job Bank Career Navigation Workshop

  • This workshop is led by Spring Wang, Chief Career Education Officer and Vice President of 104 Job Bank. It aims to enhance teachers’ ability to use AI tools and employment data for career guidance and curriculum design. Through this training, teachers will develop comprehensive skills to help students integrate academic pathway planning, skill development, and future career exploration, thereby strengthening their overall career guidance competence.

Engineering Surveying VR Teaching Material Workshop

  • This workshop, led by Associate Professor Chen Yi-Jao from the Department of Architecture at National University of Kaohsiung, introduces a virtual reality (VR) approach to engineering surveying education. By overcoming the limitations of physical teaching environments, the VR module simulates real-world construction and surveying practices, enhancing students’ learning motivation and engagement. It also provides an error-based retry mechanism to strengthen learning feedback and establishes a standardized teaching material format to promote cross-school application and resource sharing.

AI Application Planner Workshop

  • Led by Ph.D. candidate Chen Yen-Wen from the center, this workshop is designed to help students and teachers in the vocational education system effectively prepare for the iPAS AI Application Planner (Basic Level) certification. 

AR2VR Virtual Reality Education: Practical and Experiential Course – Advanced Level

  • This advanced-level course is designed to further enhance vocational high school teachers’ ability to integrate virtual reality (VR) technologies into their teaching practices. Building on the foundational concepts from the beginner course, participants will engage in in-depth hands-on activities and advanced instructional design applications using AR2VR tools.

Generative AI NPC Competence Education Game

  • This session, led by Professor Hou Huei-Tse from the center, introduces the mechanism of scaffolded game-based learning and demonstrates how to design and apply a series of modules developed under this project. Participants will explore the principles of competence education game design, experience board game activities, and engage in scenario-based learning using generative AI and NPC (non-player character) interactions.

AR2VR Virtual Reality Education: Practical and Experiential Course – Beginner Level

  • This beginner-level course is conducted by AR2VR Interactive Technology Co., Ltd. It aims to enhance the ability of vocational high school teachers to integrate virtual reality (VR) technologies into their teaching practices through hands-on training and guided instruction.

Python Workshop

  • Conducted by Ph.D. candidate Allen Chang from the center, this workshop provides hands-on practice to help participants master Python application techniques and data analysis skills.

Model Application Workshop

  • This workshop, led by Professor Wen-Ta Tseng from the center, is designed for experimental researchers. It provides essential concepts and techniques that go beyond simple pretest-posttest comparisons, focusing instead on exploring the overall changes in experimental effects.

2024 Workshop

SVVR Workshop

  • Delivered by Professor Liu Wei-Kai from our center, this workshop promoted the application of Virtual Reality (VR) technology in the field of education, attracting vocational high school teachers from northern, central, and southern Taiwan to participate.
    Through VR technology, both teachers and students can create and explore immersive learning environments, enabling interactive learning anytime, anywhere — truly realizing the concept of a “borderless classroom.”

Patent Search and Reading Workshop

  • Through Professor Yun KEN from the NTUST Graduate Institute of Patent, participants gained a thorough understanding of the importance of patent rights, their practical applications, and protection strategies.
    The session offered rich knowledge and practical tools to help innovators safeguard their inventions.

Workshop on the Application of Epistemic Network Analysis (ENA) in Educational Data

  • Through the sharing session led by PhD student Athawit Buahong, the team of faculty and students explored and gained an understanding of Epistemic Network Analysis (ENA), recognizing it as a powerful tool for analyzing complex educational data. This session helped participants acquire both theoretical understanding and practical skills in visualizing and measuring the connections between various elements, thereby enhancing their research and analytical capabilities.

Humanities and Social Sciences Lecture Seminar

  • We invited Prof. Wendy Cho to present a lecture on the topic “GPU-Based Generative Adversarial Causal Inference Models in Health Research.” The talk explored how electronic health records (EHR) are enhancing our ability to acquire detailed molecular pathogen diagnostics and healthcare data. By utilizing GPU technology, Prof. Cho developed generative adversarial causal inference models that provide deeper insights into disease outcomes and dynamics. These models will play a crucial role in future disease prediction, resource optimization, and public health decision-making.

Symposium on AI, Vocational Education, and Global Standards

  • Our center, in collaboration with the Taiwan-Stanford Humanities and Social Sciences Talent Cultivation Program and the Graduate Institute of Digital Learning and Education at Taiwan Tech, co-hosted the Symposium on AI, Vocational Education, and Global Standards. The symposium featured three international scholars from Norway and Singapore, focusing on the following topics: 1. The impact of generative AI on vocational education, 2. The development and regulation of AI in Europe, the U.S., and China, and 3. The application of generative AI in vocational education. The event provided attending faculty and students with insights into the potential concerns of AI and its applications in vocational education.

2023 Empowerment Workshops

  • Monthly empowerment workshops are held, inviting the center’s team and faculty and students from the university to participate.
  • September 2023: AI Speech-to-Text Tools Workshop / PhD Student Defay Azhazi
  • October 2023: Metaverse Counseling Workshop / Prof. Sang Min Lee
