Over the last three years, more and more educators are incorporating generative AI responsibly and effectively to support student learning. At this regional symposium, we invite educators from higher education institutions across Australia and New Zealand to share their creative and authentic uses of generative AI to improve teaching, learning, assessment, and curriculum. By collaborating and sharing practice, we can respond and innovate to address the opportunities and challenges presented by AI in higher education.

We welcome all educators who work in higher education – lecturers, educational designers, professors, academic developers, tutors, educational technologists, and any other educators. Working together and sharing practice helps us all move forward more responsively.
