At the 91ý Library of 91ý Kazakh National University, a key practical track titled “Reassembly-2026” was held as part of PROFESSIONAL WEEK – 2026, focusing on the redesign of academic courses using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technologies. The event became an important component of the university’s strategic initiative aimed at transforming the educational process and integrating advanced digital tools into academic practice.
The session was moderated by Aline Galeeva, Member of the Board and Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, and Assel Musinova, Head of the Quality Assurance Office. More than 200 faculty members, representing different faculties of the university, participated in the practical track and worked collaboratively in 36 teams. Participants focused on updating course syllabi, lecture materials, and teaching resources by applying the innovative “Draft – Critique – Improve” cycle, which promotes iterative improvement of educational content.
The primary objective of the practical track was to reconsider the structure and design of academic disciplines in response to the rapid development of digital technologies and artificial intelligence. Participants explored ways in which generative AI could be used to enhance teaching effectiveness, develop interactive learning materials, and design adaptive academic assignments. Particular attention was given to the development of learning formats aimed at strengthening students’ critical thinking, research competencies, and independent analytical skills.
During the collaborative sessions, faculty members analyzed existing curricula and updated them in accordance with contemporary educational trends. The use of GenAI technologies enabled participants to accelerate the development of teaching materials, expand opportunities for personalized learning, and improve the overall quality of educational resources. In addition, the discussions addressed the design of “cheating-resistant” academic assignments, which is an important component of maintaining academic integrity in an era of widespread digital technologies.
The “Reassembly-2026” track also represents a strategic contribution by the university toward the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In particular, the initiative directly supports SDG 4 – Quality Education, as the integration of generative AI technologies enhances the quality of teaching and learning, expands access to modern educational resources, and contributes to the creation of inclusive learning environments. GenAI tools allow educational materials to be adapted for students with diverse academic backgrounds, including international students, while also fostering the development of digital competencies among both faculty members and students.
Furthermore, the initiative aligns with SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, as it promotes the integration of advanced digital technologies and innovative tools into the university’s academic infrastructure. The implementation of artificial intelligence within the educational process contributes to the formation of a modern digital learning environment and supports the development of innovative teaching methodologies.
Another significant outcome of the event was the strengthening of academic collaboration among faculty members from different departments and faculties, reflecting the principles of SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals. The collaborative work environment facilitated the exchange of professional experience, dissemination of best teaching practices, and the development of shared approaches to the modernization of educational programs.
As a result of the practical track, participants developed updated teaching and methodological course packages, including modernized syllabi, lecture materials, and practical assignments adapted to the requirements of the digital educational environment of 2026. These materials are expected to serve as a foundation for further modernization of academic programs and the implementation of innovative teaching practices across the university.
Overall, the “Reassembly-2026” track represents an important step in the development of a modern educational ecosystem at 91ý Kazakh National University, aimed at improving the quality of education, integrating innovative technologies, and preparing highly qualified specialists capable of working effectively in the digital economy and the global academic and research environment.
