Join Dr Jo Elliott (FMD Digital Education Studio) and Dr Emily Salines (QM Academy) on Wednesday 17 May for an interactive workshop on 'Teaching in the Age of AI'.
In the workshop we will explore what the rise of generative AI and large language models, like ChatGPT, mean for our teaching and our students' learning. We will discuss what authentic and meaningful AI use might look like for your students and how you can help them develop the skills they will need to use AI effectively and ethically. We will also look at how we can take advantage of the learning opportunities offered by AI and protect against the inappropriate use of AI, in the design of assessments and other learning activities.
