The most expensive bottleneck in any teacher’s week is not curriculum planning or lesson delivery. It is the feedback lag: the gap between when a student submits work and when they receive actionable guidance. For subjects spanning STEM and Humanities, where structured problem sets and extended written response both demand significant teacher time, this lag compounds across cohorts and assessment cycles into a systemic problem.
This session moves past surface-level discourse on AI in education. Rather than exploring content generation or chatbot tutors, it enters the engine room of the assessment lifecycle: examining how AI-powered marking and analytics platforms can compress the feedback loop, surface learning data at scale, and return to teachers the one resource no technology can manufacture: time.
Dr Dai Hwee Tan is Master Teacher of Economics at the Academy of Singapore Teachers based at Ministry of Education (MOE) Singapore. Prior to this appointment, she was an economics classroom teacher for almost two decades. In her current role, she spearheads and promotes networks of learning among economics teachers in Singapore’s junior colleges. She also contributes to uplifting pedagogical standards and deepening the economics subject discipline through workshops and other professional learning opportunities that she conducts and organizes. Dai Hwee’s professional and research interests are in formative assessment, feedback, and self-regulated learning. Currently, she is leading a group of teachers to explore innovative ways to harness GenAI to enhance teaching and learning, with a focus on deepening students' understanding, and empowering teachers to leverage AI for Differentiated Instruction, Inquiry-based learning, and formative assessments such as self- assessment, feedback, and marking.

Wong Eu En is the CEO and Co-Founder of Ren Education, a Singapore-based edtech company building AI grading and analytics tools for schools and junior colleges. Eu En began as a General Paper tutor, running his own tuition academy from 2022. That experience - watching students fall behind not from lack of ability but from lack of timely, detailed feedback — became the founding insight behind ren. He is finishing his Bachelor of Computing (Computer Science) from NUS and continues to teach today, keeping one foot in the classroom as ren. grows. Ren Education's flagship product automates the marking of essays and structured questions with 98.4% benchmarked accuracy, returning rubric-aligned feedback to students and per-class analytics to teachers — reducing turnaround from weeks to a single day. The platform is now active across 12+ institutions, reaching 50+ teachers and over 5,000 students. Eu En's mission is simple: quality feedback should be a baseline for every student - not a luxury. Ren Education builds the ecosystem for teacher empowerment, not replacement in the age of AI.

Imagine the future of the classroom, where teachers & students journey into imaginative worlds shaped by their diverse inputs, and brought to life through a strategic arsenal of GenAI tools, operating smoothly at speed and with almost no cost. The teacher steers control of the tools, ensuring ethical and responsible use amidst varied student suggestions.
As students have their voices heard and translated into multi-modal outputs, engagement is only heightened and personalised as everyone contributes building their stories and worlds together. The student-teacher bond develops naturally in the process.
You will learn how to:
1. Define clear outcomes (using backward design and A SMART goals)
2. Design inclusive learning experiences (using UDL scaffolds), and
3. Decide when and how AI tools can help: safely, ethically, and in culturally appropriate ways.
You will be equipped with ready to use templates and a checklist to keep you firmly in the driver’s seat.
