Conducted a mixed-methods study across four universities in Hong Kong.
Collected data through pre- and post-questionnaires from over 200 students and semi-structured interviews with 19 participants.
The post-intervention group reported higher self-perceived AI literacy compared to the pre-group.
All three forms of engagement (cognitive, behavioral, social) increased in the post-intervention group.
