As a senior lecturer in English language and professional communication at a public university in Malaysia, I often find myself juggling multiple tasks - teaching, grading, and constantly seeking ways to enhance my students' learning experiences. The traditional methods, though effective, sometimes felt like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. My students needed something more engaging and current with the fast-paced, modern world we live in today.
Enter AI. I enrolled in Ricky's AI Coaching Program, hoping to find a solution to my teaching challenges. The course was a game-changer. I learned to develop a web app that assesses students' strengths and areas for improvement in professional communication. This app functions like a personality test, profiling users into one of 16 categories, providing me with valuable insights into each student's needs, while giving them a fun profile to show their strengths and areas of improvement. The seamless design of the web app and the smoothness of its UX/UI features also help make the experience more engaging.
I named it the Professional Communication Strengths Survey, and you can check it out at https://profcommsurvey.com. This tool has been a revelation. It not only streamlines my assessment process but also engages students in a way that traditional methods couldn't. They appreciate the personalized feedback and the clarity it brings to their learning journey.
Looking ahead, I'm excited to harness AI further to create more web apps that cater to learning and development, from testing and profiling students to boosting classroom engagement.
If you're an educator looking to revolutionize your teaching methods, consider exploring AI tools. They might just be the key to unlocking a new way to expand your horizon and add value to your students' learning experiences.
