Aims:
This series of workshops offer an opportunity for staff to explore the challenges and benefits associated with the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence (AI) in relation to learning, teaching and assessment. Participants can choose to attend individual workshops or the entire workshop series based on their specific interests. The series comprises five workshops covering the following:
- Learning and Teaching – to contribute to the University strategy.
- Assessment and feedback – to ensure assessments are valid, reliable and inclusive.
- Creativity and employability – to identify AI tools that facilitate creativity in a range of media.
- Diversity and inclusion – to create accessible, personalised learning through AI.
- Research and ethics – to address concerns related to intellectual property and academic integrity.
The sessions will enable participants to:
- develop an understanding of AI concepts, terminology, and applications in the context of learning, teaching and assessment;
- gain hands-on experience with AI tools that generate text and images in response to prompts;
- consider strategies for designing assessments that effectively incorporate AI while maintaining academic integrity;
- identify strategies to educate students on ethical AI use and responsible AI prompt development;
- connect and collaborate with peers interested in integrating AI into their teaching practices, and gain the opportunity to collaborate beyond a workshop through the Centre for Active Digital Education AI Special Interest Group.
