I. Promoting Teaching Innovation and Enhancing Teaching Quality
To continuously improve teaching quality and promote educational innovation,the university has advanced diverse teacher incentive and support mechanisms.
Systems such as the Excellence in Teaching Award(教學優良教師獎勵),Merit Pay for Exceptional Teachers(優良教師彈性薪資獎勵),and Core Teaching Competency Award(教師教學核心能力獎勵)encourage faculty to deepen professional growth and innovate in curriculum design.
Through interdepartmental teaching communities,teachers share experiences and outcomes,fostering a collaborative learning culture.
The university actively promotes AI education by establishing the“AI Teaching Enhancement Community,”
organizing multiple AI training workshops to strengthen teachers’ability to apply generative AI in instruction.
Course offerings have been expanded to include“Introduction to Data Science,”“Artificial Intelligence Design,”“Introduction of Robot Exploration,”and“Media Literacy.”
In 2025,229 students enrolled in AI and digital literacy courses.
AI features were also integrated into the I-learn platform and classroom activities,such as AI question bank search,AI learning diagnostics,and AI content generation practice,cultivating students’computational thinking,media literacy,and practical AI application skills.
In teaching practice research,the university encouraged faculty to apply for Ministry of Education projects,resulting in six approved cases in 2025.
The university also held an international teaching practice conference,with 23 papers presented,12 of which were published in the Teaching Practice Research Forum journal「教學實務研究論叢」期刊,showcasing both academic depth and practical application.
In addition,diverse teaching programs were promoted,including Teaching Innovation(36 projects,NT$1 million),Smart Teaching Digitization(18 projects,NT$360,000),University Social Responsibility(USR)(6 projects,NT$710,000),and Student-Teacher Collaborative Learning(41 projects, NT$200,000),enhancing interdisciplinary learning and hands-on experience.
To create innovative learning environments,the university established an Omni Media Live Streaming Center with professional studios and production spaces for program creation,recording, and interdisciplinary teaching.
The Omni Media Live Streaming(Figure 1)Center not only enhances digital teaching quality and improves students’ media production skills,but also serves as a platform for industry collaboration and intercollegiate exchange,marking a milestone in integrating education with the media industries.

Additionally,the project facilitates international exchanges,including the“Taiwan-Korea Persimmon Dye Joint Exhibition”and the“Taiwan-Japan Persimmon Friendship Exchange,”thereby promoting Hakka craftsmanship worldwide and raising the industry’s profile.
The“Ruma Sinsi”project centers on the Heping Tribe,Wufeng Township,introducing AI and XR technologies to develop smart tourism guides,3D modeling,and metaverse archives.
It integrates cultural preservation,mental health,and tourism development to foster resilient tribal industries.

These initiatives cultivate students’ innovation and entrepreneurship capacity and reinforce effective industry–academia cooperation, bridging theory and practice.
IV. Enhancing the Public Role of Higher Education
To ensure educational equity and social mobility,the university implements the“Matrix Counseling for Economically Disadvantaged Students,”building a three-dimensional support mechanism encompassing financial aid,academic support, and employability development.
Based on students’grade levels and needs,the university provides scholarships,internship stipends,and diverse learning incentives,helping students“replace part-time work with learning”while maintaining academic and financial stability.
To strengthen self-directed learning and career readiness,the university offers courses and workshops on learning strategies,professional certifications,and international mobility,encouraging interdisciplinary learning and overseas internships.
In 2025,graduates from economically disadvantaged backgrounds achieved an average monthly salary of NT$34,897 and a 71% employment rate one year after graduation —both higher than the Ministry of Labor’s national average of 67.08%—demonstrating the program’s effectiveness.
Furthermore,the university continues to integrate resources from the Centers for Academic Affairs,Student Affairs,Career Counseling,and Student Counseling under the“Guidance Before Reward”principle.”
This ensures individualized support and diverse growth opportunities,enabling economically disadvantaged students to study with confidence,strengthen employability,and progressively achieve the goal of education as a driver of social mobility.
