Interested in harnessing the power of Generative AI (GenAI) for your studies? Join us in exploring the GenAI platform, its functionality and usage policies in our upcoming workshop. Learn about how GenAI can enhance your learning experience and how to employ it in your studies while maintaining data privacy and security. We'll introduce you to 'prompts engineering' and emphasise the importance of academic integrity in the context of AI technology usage. Come and join this workshop co-organised by EDC and ITS.

Curious about integrating Generative AI (GenAI) into your teaching methodologies? Embark on a journey with EDC and ITS in a comprehensive workshop introducing the innovative GenAI platform. This session will guide you through the platform's operations, explaining its usage policies. During the workshop, we'll briefly discuss the need for redesigning our assessment strategies in sync with this advanced tool to optimise learning outcomes effectively. Even more importantly, we will discuss data security and privacy concerns surrounding GenAI usage. This workshop offers an unrivalled opportunity to expand your understanding and proficiency in using AI in an educational context. If you're prepared to explore the cutting edge of education technology, then this is the ideal workshop for you.

Come hear three very different examples of assessment design that fully expect students to consult GenAI. They aim to deepen learning experiences by requiring students to produce multimodal submissions, revisit particular key points discussed in class, and demonstrate their understanding via hands-on quizzes and lab notebooks. When the assessment focus changes, the assessment criteria may change accordingly, and this will be included in the workshop.

Re-designing assessments within the context of generative AI is one of the most urgent challenges for universities. Might assessment re-design represent opportunities to build on key principles underpinning ‘good assessment’? Dependent on the disciplinary context, these might include iterative sequences of rich tasks; the development of student evaluative expertise; and linkages to real-world outcomes.
Effective assessment sequences are sometimes time-consuming. By reducing assessment overload, we can create much-needed space for new possibilities: increased authentic assessment; assessments that involve critical engagement with generative AI outputs; an enhanced role for digital and interactive oral assessment; teacher and student co-learning in partnerships for assessment re-design; and assessing process as well as product. The thorny issues of academic integrity and ethical use of generative AI also merit attention but should not distract from a primary focus on the development of student learning.
Generative AI raises exciting possibilities, yet there are few clear answers. In this workshop, complementary and alternative views, including those from different disciplinary perspectives will be welcomed.

The rapid development and widening availability of generative AI tools to create and refine content presents a huge opportunity to re-assess some of the key foundational assumptions and practices behind the ways that our courses are designed and delivered.
In this seminar, Dr Bates will share his views on educators’ obligations to engage with these issues, educate students (and ourselves) on the affordances and limitations of new and emerging AI tools, iteratively experiment in a space that is rapidly changing, and share the successes (and failures) of UBC colleagues.
Dr Bates will also present some practical advice for different ways in which generative AI tools may be incorporated into teaching activities and assessments and outline ways in which UBC is gearing up to support instructors in these efforts.

The QS Stars Reimagine Education Awards, backed by the Wharton School, describes itself as “ The global awards for innovative higher education pedagogies enhancing learning and employability”. Over the past few years PolyU has enjoyed much success at these awards with multiple shortlisted and winning entries. In this briefing, Reimagine Education Regional Award 2022: Asia Gold Award winner Dr. Kitty Chan (SN) will share her insights on converting great educational innovations into award-winning applications, as well as the hints on preparing the application materials. EDC and IPAO representatives will provide additional information to support colleagues who are interested in submitting their applications.

Generative AI challenges Higher Education institutions, educators and their practices to critically re-appraise the nature of what should and could be assessed. Gen AI can support equity and enhance new assessment designs. However, it also challenges us to reconsider what is valued, who is involved and what assessment can reliably reveal. This workshop will discuss the Australian Higher Education response to generative AI and explore the opportunities and challenges in relation to assessment.
