About the Instructor
The sessions will be facilitated by Associate Professor Rui Yoshida from Tokyo University's Graduate School of Engineering. His expertise lies in educational engineering, particularly in active learning strategies and online education. He has published several works, including handbooks on active learning and educational evaluation techniques. Professor Yoshida has successfully conducted many workshops on utilizing generative AI in education and serves on committees revising guidelines for its implementation in schools.
In his own words, Professor Yoshida explains: "While we initially focused on educators, it became clear that it is vital for students and parents to have a grasp of generative AI. Our previous courses received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with over 97% of participants rating them highly. We aim to keep content fresh and engaging by including practical examples. Everyone is welcome to join!"
