The Development of Interdisciplinary Digital Learning Platform to Advance Digital Learning Strategic Framework

The field of biotechnology and biomanufacturing is experiencing rapid advancements, necessitating the provision of quality learning materials for students to keep pace with the evolving industry. Digital learning platforms have emerged as indispensable tools, offering convenience and flexibility for learners. However, the abundance of unverified digital resources presents a significant challenge, contributing to the dissemination of inaccurate information and exacerbating the current misinformation pandemic. Moreover, the integration of AI tools, such as ChatGPT, adds complexity as students often lack a comprehensive understanding of these tools’ functioning and limitations. To address these issues, this research paper proposes the development of a verified digital learning platform catering specifically to biotechnology and biomanufacturing education. The platform ensures the reliability and accuracy of learning materials by curating and validating content from reputable sources, creating a reliable resource hub for self-learning and skill development. In addition, the paper aims to cultivate critical thinking skills among students, enabling them to effectively evaluate and utilize AI tools like ChatGPT in their learning journey. Equipping students with the ability to discern the reliability of information from AI tools is crucial to fostering a discerning approach towards digital resources.
