Khwaja Yunus Ali University (KYAU) organised an international workshop on “Claude Code for Research and DataScrut for Academic Assessment” on Monday, 19 October 2026. The workshop was organised by the university’s Centre for Research and Innovation (CRI) to enhance faculty members’ knowledge and skills in AI-assisted research, data analysis, and technology-enhanced academic assessment.

The workshop focused on the application of artificial intelligence in academic and research activities particularly AI-assisted coding, data analysis and the development of efficient research workflows. It also addressed the use of DataScrut for academic assessment including analysing student assignments, tracing students’ work and effort, and understanding the use of AI in academic submissions.

The workshop provided an opportunity for faculty members to explore emerging digital tools and consider their potential applications in research, teaching and assessment. It also highlighted the importance of using AI responsibly and effectively to support academic integrity, improve assessment practices and strengthen research productivity in higher education.

To facilitate faculty members’ participation the university requested all faculty members to reschedule their classes, if necessary, to attend the workshop. The initiative reflects KYAU’s commitment to promoting research excellence, faculty development, technological innovation, and the continuous improvement of teaching and learning practices.
