School-wide discussion with CAD & Dean for Educational Innovation on the opportunities and challenges associated with GenAI in Education
As the University continues to develop its principles on the use of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) in Education, and the opportunities and challenges these technologies present, we would like to organise School-level discussions on this topic that would be facilitated by CAD/Dean for Educational Innovation, which would inform our developing practice and policies in this area. Please email cad@abdn.ac.uk to arrange suitable dates for such a session.
Last academic year we offered:
- Open sessions on 'ChatGPT and Assessment Practice', enabling staff to contribute to practice and policy in this area.
- Assessment clinics, enabling facilitated discussions on authentic assessment at discipline-level are being offered to all Schools
If you would like further information about the above sessions please contact the Centre for Academic Development: cad@abdn.ac.uk
