Using Generative AI to enhance higher education student and staff teaching and learning experiences and outcomes

Abstract

The symposium will explore ways of better understanding, challenging and expanding the ways that its diverse users think about and use generative AI in higher education, to best respond to our emerging opportunities to achieve AI ethical and pedagogical best practice. The symposium features a discussion between a range of AI in education experts, and session attendees, guided by key questions on how to achieve the best possible use of AI in education. These questions include how to best bring together technological and human interfaces, and how to best use generative AI in education practice. This could include by strategically expanding its current uses to help it improve whole student education, as well as academic education. Student engagement, wellbeing and motivation could be strategically improved via identifying current levels of, and potential improvements in, student and staff knowledge of and attitudes towards educational uses of AI.
