HONG KONG, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 17th, Lingnan University's Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC) and The University of Sydney's Educational Innovation (EI) Team co-hosted a pivotal seminar titled "The Transformation of Global Higher Education Learning Pedagogies: Harnessing the Innovation and Technology Revolution". With an attendance of approximately 300 participants, both in person and online, the event highlighted the urgency to rethink and revolutionise educational practices to adapt to the AI era.
The need for transformation has never been more critical. As artificial intelligence technologies permeate learning environments, our existing pedagogies and assessment methods are insufficient to meet the demands of the student in the AI Era, argued Prof Frankie Lam, Director of the Teaching and Learning Centre of Lingnan University, Hong Kong SAR. Prof Jen Scott Curwood from The University of Sydney echoed this argument by presenting a thought-provoking and process-oriented framework for a shift in assessment focus. She and her colleagues emphasised a shift from the mere final product to the entire learning journey, and the importance of authentic assessments that incorporate learner-AI dialogues and critical reflections to foster deeper learning.
Likewise, Prof Albert Ko from Lingnan University offered a practical approach in his session titled "Empowering Non-STEM Degree Students to Apply Technology to Solve Humanitarian Challenges". His insights underscored the urgency of equipping non-STEM students with the technological skills necessary to address pressing social issues, reinforcing the need for educational evolution across diverse fields.
The seminar closed with a critical analysis from Prof Lam of Lingnan University regarding the imperative transformation of assessment. With AI tools becoming increasingly accessible to students, higher education institutions must leverage innovative technologies to enhance student outcomes and accelerate the development of essential graduate attributes including critical thinking, effective communication, collaboration, social responsibility, and AI literacy. The imperative to adopt new pedagogies and assessment strategies in the age of AI is inevitable. Higher education must embrace this transformational moment to prepare students for a future where technology and human skills intertwine seamlessly.

Urgent call for the transformation of education learning practices in the AI era
AMSTERDAM, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Conow, an Al-powered global digital energy ecosystem powered by Tuya Smart (NYSE:TUYA), made a significant mark at Solar Solutions Amsterdam 2026 (March 10–12, Expo Greater Amsterdam) — unveiling a comprehensive residential energy lineup spanning balcony storage, whole-home systems, and AI-driven energy management, while demonstrating the growing commercial trust the brand has begun to earn among European distribution partners and industry players.
At Solar Solutions Amsterdam 2026, CONOW presented one of the most complete residential energy portfolios, unified by CONOW AI HEMS, an intelligent energy management platform powered by Tuya that enables dynamic tariff optimization across 800+ energy providers and real-time load control for thermostats, EV chargers, and heat pumps. It is one of the few solutions on the market backed by a proven installed device base, not just theoretical capability.
Lyra 2500 AC: The newly launched AI-powered AC-coupled plug-in balcony energy storage system featuring 1500W continuous output (3000W peak) and a 2560Wh LFP battery, parallelable to 5120Wh. It offers 10ms UPS backup, 1.5-hour fast charging, and universal microinverter compatibility for easy retrofitting.
Atlas 6000 AC (pre-sale): An AC‑coupled plug‑in storage system with a 3kW/6kWh "golden ratio" configuration, optimized to offset peak demand and cover daily household use. It plugs into any standard socket and the industrial‑grade safety ensures reliable power, on or off the grid.
CBE2000 Pro: A plug-and-play smart balcony solar and storage solution with 2500W bi-directional AC, 4 MPPT (2600W PV input), and 10ms backup. Driven by CONOW AI HEMS, it optimizes performance via dynamic pricing across Adaptive, Extreme, and Efficient modes.
CBE Expansion Battery 5000: This "Lego-style" modular system allows users to mix 2kWh and 5kWh units for customized capacity. Compatible with CBE2000/5000 Pro, it offers the lineup's best value (€/kWh) with rapid capacity upgrades.
Residential all-in-one energy storage system (pre-sale): A full-scale whole-home solution (5kW–25kW) supporting single and three-phase setups. Its modular design scales from 8kWh to 48kWh, featuring IP66 durability for everything from apartments to EV-ready homes.
"European homeowners are asking harder questions about energy — and they deserve smarter answers. Every product we brought to Amsterdam is built around one idea: that your home should care for you, not the other way around," noted Alain Zheng, Director of AI Energy Solutions, CONOW.
CONOW is actively building its community and long-term relationships in Europe. On March 11, the company hosted the invitation-only CONOW OPEN at its booth, bringing together European industry leaders for a keynote by Guy Vandendungen, Country Manager for the Netherlands and CTO at Perpetum Energy (also a Member of the Expert Committee, EAEST), on the Dutch energy storage market and competitive positioning — followed by an in-depth technical deep dive into CONOW's AI-powered product lineup and technological strengths. The event also marked the signing of strategic cooperation agreements with three European partners: Flexisolar GmbH, an established German provider of bespoke balcony power systems and photovoltaic solutions; Lanergy GmbH, a German integrated renewable energy solutions provider; and GroenWoon B.V., a trusted home energy storage provider in the Netherlands.
Mason Sun, Director of Smart Solutions at CONOW, noted that, "Today, the question is no longer whether we will transition to a smarter, greener energy future — but how fast and how well we can build it together."
Looking ahead, CONOW is committed to deepening its presence in Europe, not as a short-term entrant, but as a lasting partner building the intelligent energy infrastructure that European homes can rely on for years to come.
