Digital Literacy is highlighted in the CUHK Strategic Plan 2025 and is part of the undergraduate curriculum. It falls under the umbrella of Digital Competence, which involves the confident, critical and responsible use of engagement with, digital technologies for learning at work, and for participation in society. Through cultivating digital competence, teachers can utilise the use of educational technology to enhance students’ learning effectively. In higher education, 3 pillars are important namely (1) qualification; (2) subjectivity and (3) socialization. We aim to develop the professional skills and qualification of the students. Students will become the knower (subjectivity) of the subject and need to further engage in the lifelong continued education to sharpen the skills and qualification. Their epistemic beliefs will be crucial for them to further develop social goods to benefit mankind in the long term (socialization). The project aimed to examine the accessibility of educational technology and its impact on higher education. We aim to evaluate how artificial intelligence (AI) impact on students in each faculty at CUHK. The current project have 2 phases using a mixed-method (quantitative and qualitative) analysis. In phase 1, we evaluated how AI will impact on students’ qualification, subjectivity and socialization domains. As there is no validated tool that could evaluate all 3 pillars, the current project has developed the AIMS tool already. It evaluated the academic correlation of students’ AI competencies with subjectivity and socialization. We also identify potential barriers and challenges faced by students and assess the trajectories of students’ AI competencies.
