The Teacher Professional Education Program (Pendidikan Profesi Guru/PPG) at the Graduate School (Sekolah Pascasarjana/SPs) of Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia held a seminar and workshop titled “AI Literacy Workshop for Teachers: Applying AI and Immersive Technology to Design Innovative Learning.” The event took place at GH Universal Hotel, Bandung, on Saturday (Dec 20, 2025).
The program drew enthusiastic participation from PPG alumni and students eager to explore the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and cutting-edge technology into the education sector.
The workshop was officially opened by the Secretary of PPG SPs UPI, who emphasized the growing importance of technological mastery for educators. In the opening remarks, it was highlighted that AI literacy is no longer optional but an urgent necessity for teachers to remain relevant in the digital era.
Serving as keynote speakers were two experts from UPI’s Science Education Study Program, Ai Nurlaelasari Rusmana, M.Ed., and Hanna Nurul Husna, M.Pd. They delivered comprehensive sessions on using AI applications to support lesson preparation and interactive learning platforms designed to enhance student engagement.
Beyond artificial intelligence, participants were also introduced to immersive technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). These tools are projected to create learning experiences that are more realistic, engaging, and effective for students.
One of the most anticipated segments of the event was the hands-on practice session. During this session, teachers and prospective teachers were given the opportunity to directly explore various AI tools to design innovative learning materials. Collaborative discussions flourished as participants developed creative ideas ready to be implemented in their respective classrooms.
“This workshop is extremely beneficial. We gained new insights into how AI can be used to make learning more engaging and aligned with students’ needs in the digital era,” said one workshop participant.
The free event also provided participants with certificates and refreshments, reflecting the university’s support for strengthening teacher professionalism.
Through this workshop, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia once again demonstrated its commitment to improving the quality of national education. By equipping educators with the latest technological skills, the university hopes to accelerate and adapt the transformation of Indonesia’s education system to the rapidly evolving times. This initiative strongly aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4: Quality Education) by promoting innovative, inclusive, and future-ready teaching practices. (Ajeng)
