Established in 2002, the Virtual University of Pakistan (VUP) offers ICT-based distance education delivered through internet and free-to-air satellite television broadcasts. In 2020, the VUP applied to the APO Centers of Excellence Program, and upon the expert panel’s recommendation, capacity-building activities have been carried out for the reapplication. In relation to this, a three-day online workshop on Generative AI in Education was implemented by the NPO Pakistan and VUP, 22–24 July, with the participation of 38 faculty members. The sessions delivered by the Japanese resource person from Chiba Keizai University aimed at equipping participants with the skills for integrating AI-driven personalized learning approaches into curriculum design. The workshop was co-hosted by Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) and marked a significant step forward in integrating AI technology into educational frameworks. The program coverage enriched participants’ knowledge and understanding of AI’s potential in education.
