隨著ChatGPT💻普及，AI🤖的應用迅速進入教育領域，也同時開拓了數碼素養 (digital literacy) 的重要面向。進入AI普及化的時代，如何應對科技發展，提供適應社會需求和青年發展的教育方案，是當前的重要議題。

為探討這個議題，香港恒生大學公共政策研究中心及香港浸會大學比較管治與政策研究中心將會聯手舉辦「AI時代的數碼教育：創新教學的未來？」研討會。

在這個研討會，我們邀請了來自學術界、青年組織、專業教育、傳媒四個界別的講者，分享他們因應AI和數碼素養的研究成果，個人經驗、發展策略，並討論AI怎樣可以作為發展創新教學的契機，及不同持分者在推廣數碼素養的角色與責任。

研討會詳情如下：
日期：2023年5月25 (星期四)
時間：下午5:30 - 7:00
地點： Preface Coffee & Wine (銅鑼灣霎東街11號The Sharp地下及1樓)

📌 GIS & CGPC Research Seminar 📌

🚄🚄🚄Localized Bargaining: The Political Economy of China's High-Speed Railway Program

💬 China's high-speed railway network is one of the largest infrastructure programs in human history. Despite global media coverage, we know very little about the political process that led the government to invest in the railway program and the reasons for the striking regional and temporal variation in such investments. In Localized Bargaining, Xiao Ma offers a novel theory of intergovernmental bargaining that explains the unfolding of China's unprecedented high-speed railway program. Drawing on a wealth of in-depth interviews, original data sets, and surveys with local officials, Ma details how the bottom-up bargaining efforts by territorial authorities—whom the central bureaucracies rely on to implement various infrastructure projects—shaped the allocation of investment in the railway system. Demonstrating how localities of different types invoke institutional and extra-institutional sources of bargaining power in their competition for railway stations, Ma sheds new light on how the nation's massive bureaucracy actually functions.

📌 Comparative Governance and Policy Research Centre Research Seminar 2022-2023 #1

🎙️Collecting data online: challenges, opportunities and innovations

Online data collection has become an indispensable research tool in social sciences. This talk provides an overview of the current state of online data collection, focusing on Hong Kong. Online data collection can be applied not only to simple surveys and experiments, but also to more complex designs such as conjoint experiments, news site browsing experiments, and implicit association tests. On the other hand, the problems inherent in online data collection should be fully considered before use. These issues include inadvertent responses, coverage bias, and various levels of (self-)censorship. Online data collection in Hong Kong faces many challenges, but more creative uses need to be devised.

Speaker: Tetsuro Kobayashi, Associate Professor, Department of Media and Communication, City University of Hong Kong
