Human-centered EdTech: Empowering Translation Pedagogy in the AI Era

Description

As generative AI transforms the translation landscape, educators face the dual challenge of integrating these technologies while safeguarding core competencies like critical thinking and cultural discernment. This presentation addresses this pedagogical dilemma by proposing a human-centered Edtech framework. Moving beyond a simple choice between prohibition and full automation, it advocates for a balanced approach where AI acts as a facilitator for developing translator skills, not as a substitute for human judgment.

To illustrate this model, the presentation will showcase a suite of self-designed digital tools that put pedagogical principles into practice. These innovations include systems to support academic integrity by analysing text provenance, platforms for customisable assessment with instant feedback, and learning environments that provide real-time, context-sensitive support during the translation process. Collectively, these tools are designed to empower educators, promote reflective learning, and foster ethical student engagement with AI. The discussion invites a re-evaluation of how translation competence can be cultivated and assessed with both technological precision and essential human insight.
