Generative AI and Education: The New Hybrid

Wednesday, October 30, 2024
10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time)

As generative AI continues to evolve, its potential to reshape education is becoming increasingly clear. 
Generative AI’s unique capabilities enable the development of new hybrid human-AI models, in which educators interact and collaborate with AI to design and deliver learning that is personalised and adaptive but still grounded in the educator’s domain expertise. Generative AI also opens new possibilities to create intelligent learning communities, to offer authentic AI-enabled assessments, and to implement innovative approaches to learning design. As education institutions begin to integrate generative AI, they face both exciting opportunities and complex challenges in rethinking traditional teaching methods and assessment practices.

In this webinar, Mairéad Pratschke presents key ideas from her recently published book, Generative AI and Education: Digital Pedagogies, Teaching Innovation and Learning Design.  

Key takeaways:

  1. Hybrid human-AI educational model: Gain insight into the emerging hybrid model of education, where educators collaborate with AI to design, deliver and assess learning.
  2. Generativism: Explore Generativism, an innovative approach to the design and delivery of learning in collaboration with AI.
  3. Intelligent communities: Discover how to create human + AI communities to support personalized learning and peer collaboration.
  4. AI-enabled assessment: Explore how educators can use AI to create sustainable, authentic assessments designed to address future skills.
  5. AI integration: Consider next steps for embedding generative AI into institutional planning, from the perspective of spatial, cultural, and structural shifts.
