Don’t just learn about AI – experience its transformative power in action!

Join us for a comprehensive and engaging workshop focusing on enhancing learning, teaching and assessment through the strategic integration of Generative AI (GenAI) tools. Participants will gain an understanding of various GenAI technologies, including their capabilities and limitations, while also exploring the ethical considerations and potential biases associated with their use in education.

In this session, be prepared to be equipped with practical skills which will enable you to design and implement innovative educational activities that effectively leverage GenAI. This includes adapting existing resources and critically evaluating the impact of GenAI on student learning.

Furthermore, participants will be empowered to identify relevant GenAI applications within their specific teaching contexts / disciplines and develop a plan for their integration. By analysing the impact of GenAI on student learning, teaching and assessment practices and the overall learning environment, participants will be well-equipped to navigate the evolving landscape of AI-augmented education.
