Artificial intelligence in education, assessment, formative assessment, learning in digital environment, feedback and assessment for learning, self-regulated learning

Background

I graduated with a Ph.D. in Education specialising in Teaching of English as a Second Language (TESL) from University Malaya, Malaysia. My academic pursuits have been uniquely shaped by a profound interest in the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, technology-enhanced learning, assessment and assessment for learning. I am committed to shaping the future of education for the digital age. Prior to my academic journey, I proudly served 10 years as an educator at lower secondary schools in Malaysia, where I ignited a passion for learning among my students. My experience as a teacher laid the foundation for my commitment to enhancing education through technology and  assessment practices.
