This roundtable brings together learning and teaching leaders from all Australian higher education institutions to discuss and share practices and policies around generative AI in education. Student representatives from attending institutions are also warmly invited to contribute to discussions. The roundtable will be primarily participant-driven and focus on active collaboration and sharing. Participants can expect to gain practical strategies and approaches to take back to their institutions.
Each institution is welcome to send 5 staff and 3 students to this free event. The event will be most profitable for directors of learning and teaching, senior learning designers/managers, senior academic developers, and others involved in applied leadership in their faculties or institutions on AI in education. The University of Sydney can provide travel sponsorship to some students – please get in touch with us to discuss this.
