| 9:40-10:00 | Keynote: Navigating the future of teaching and learning with GenAI In this keynote, Eduardo will explore the evolving role of generative AI (GenAI) in reshaping the future of higher education. As AI tools become integral to academic and professional practices, educators face both exciting possibilities and critical challenges. The focus will be on integrating AI thoughtfully into human-centred processes, ensuring it amplifies rather than diminishes creativity, critical thinking, and disciplinary expertise. Eduardo will reflect on the risks of over-delegating tasks to AI, which may lead to homogenised, mediocre outcomes, and will outline strategies to avoid such pitfalls. He will also discuss the importance of AI literacy and frameworks to scaffold and understand the competencies necessary to work alongside AI meaningfully. | |||
| 10:00-10:50 | Learning with GenAI: Student experiences, perspectives and interests Beginning with some short video snapshots of student uses of GenAI, this special conference event, chaired by Cory Dal Ponte, himself a PhD student as well as a staff member, will then enable sharing and discussion of current students’ experiences and perspectives on uses of GenAI for learning. Areas of discussion may touch on journeys in usage, innovative applications, and students’ views on what educators – including those right here at this conference – could understand, do and develop for – and with – students as we all engage with the dynamic practices and possibilities for learning afforded by generative AI.
