GenAI’s disruption of HigherEd — for students

Posted on by CIC-Editor
There's been a huge amount written about how the emergence of generative AI has disrupted the lives of school teachers and university academics. Not in any way to downplay this, we're rectifying the rather less attention that's been paid to the impact all this is having on students. In 2024, a consortium of Australian universities set out to understand their experience — or rather, experiences — since what has become very clear is that there is no single 'student voice' when it comes to att...

AI for learner flourishing?

Posted on by CIC Editor
"Learner flourishing" is a wholistic concept that reflects current concerns that education must cultivate the whole person for the turbulent times ahead. A special issue dedicated to how this intersects with AI has just come out... There is growing emphasis on flourishing as a fundamental concept for our times, possibly more helpful than "sustainability" as argued by John Ehrenfeld: "flourishing — the attainment of the full potential of living creatures." When it comes to learners, Frank Ma...

How UTS developed a suite of Course Handbook Bots

In Dec. 2023, UTS convened a generative AI workshop to develop its first proof-of-concept applications. Supported by Microsoft, several teams proposed and tested concepts, one being the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) and conversational agents to revise the content of the UTS Course Handbook. This was to help the Education Portfolio accelerate the migration and modification of content to a new curriculum platform, incorporating human academic input throughout. The task of redrafting descript...
