Teaching and Learning Methods
AI programmes may use:
- classroom lectures;
- coding laboratories;
- mathematical tutorials;
- data-analysis exercises;
- model-building assignments;
- cloud laboratories;
- group projects;
- hackathons;
- internships;
- research seminars;
- technical-paper reading;
- capstone projects; and
- final-year dissertations.
A good programme should teach students to build and evaluate systems rather than only call pre-built AI services.
