Unlike AI-marking products, ExPAND is an evidence-informed pedagogical framework. It blends pedagogy and technology, builds teacher capacity, and fosters sustained professional dialogue within schools.As an evidence-based model, ExPAND has been submitted to international peer-reviewed journals and will continue to be disseminated through scholarly publications and other academic platforms.
No. We fully acknowledge the busy teaching life among teachers. ExPAND is teacher-friendly and scalable. Customisable lesson plans and teaching materials, prompt libraries, and the POWER Bots allow teachers to adopt resources gradually without extra burden.
ExPAND maps directly to HKDSE English Language curriculum requirements. It strengthens genre-based skills, supports higher-order thinking, and develops ethical and digital literacy. The framework also extends to cross-curricular goals such as STEAM and Values Education.
Yes. ExPAND enhances students' performance in Papers 2 & 3 (Writing and Integrated Skills) and Paper 1 (Reading) by strengthening genre awareness, idea generation, and logical structuring — all with AI support. It also helps with vocabulary development, tone control, and grammar revision through tools like the POWER model and the POWER Bots.
ExPAND is differentiated by design. Struggling learners benefit from AI as a patient tutor, while advanced learners engage in higher-level prompting and independent tasks. The tiered POWER Bots provide scaffolding and progression.
The Navigate stage addresses ethics directly. Students learn to detect bias, evaluate AI outputs, and justify their use. Tools like Ethics Bots and other learning activities advocating human-AI co-creation build awareness of academic integrity and originality.
Assessment for, of, and as Learning (AFL, AOL, AAL) is integrated through journals, annotated drafts, and prompt collections. ExPAND adapts to timetables and device availability, works with platforms like Poe or DeepSeek. We provide full support, including CPD, toolkits, lesson plans, rubrics, and co-planning meetings and consultation service. Scalable cost options allow schools to start small and expand.
