One Day Workshop on Practical Application of A.I in Teaching & Research organized by Research & Development Cell in collaboration with MCC IQAC

A One Day Workshop on Practical Application of A.I in Teaching & Research organized by Research & Development Cell, MCC in collaboration with MCC IQAC was held on 4th November 2025. The workshop was divided into two sessions with Lalengzuala, Informatics Officer, Directorate of Information & Communication Technology, Govt. of Mizoram as the Resource Person for Session I and Dr. C. Zoremsanga, Scientist D, NIELIT, Aizawl as the Resource Person for Session II.

In the first session, the Resource Person provides a guide on integrating AI in education and research. He offers an insightful talk on the evolution from the Dawn of AI to the current Generative AI Era. Key components of the talk are the different AI Models, the AI Programs (software using the model, like ChatGPT), and the AI Platforms (for training/deployment). He also stressed on the use of AI as support learning, and not to replace it, and highlights the importance of using AI transparently, verifying AI-generated output, and adherence to academic integrity. Ethical AI principles emphasized are Fairness, Transparency, and Accountability. The Resource Person also discussed methods for detecting AI-generated content and concludes with an overview of Prompt Engineering, offering a formula for effective prompting.

In the second session, the presentation outlines the rapid integration of AI in higher education, focusing on its applications, concerns, and ethical guidelines. The talk also highlights how AI enhances teaching and learning through personalized, adaptive learning and smart tutoring (e.g., Khanmigo). The talk also dealt on how AI can improve academic administration via automation (scheduling, processing results) and research through automated literature review and data analysis. Major drawbacks include the risk of academic dishonesty (using AI to generate assignments), misinformation (AI "hallucinations"), data privacy and security issues, and the Digital Divide.

The workshop was attended by 75 registered participants from different institutions across the state.
