CIC is delighted to welcome Prof. Linda Castañeda (University of Murcia) as a visiting scholar June-September…
Linda is Professor of Educational Technology, University of Murcia, Spain, who is visiting us to learn how we conceive, design, pilot and scale conversational GenAI for learning at UTS.
Linda’s research explores how people learn, teach and make educational decisions in contexts of technological change. Her work spans personal learning, academic development, digital competence, educational leadership and the educational implications of artificial intelligence, always with a particular interest in agency, professional judgement and institutional transformation. Over the past two decades, she has led and contributed to numerous national and international research projects, developed conceptual frameworks that have informed educational research and practice, and collaborated with universities and public institutions on digital transformation and professional learning. Her current work brings together theory, policy and educational design to help educators make sense of AI beyond instrumental narratives, with a particular focus on teaching, assessment and professional judgement in higher education. More about her research, publications and ongoing projects can be found at www.lindacastaneda.com.
In addition to extended conversations with the CIC team, and meeting colleagues across UTS, Linda will present a public, 4-part seminar series entitled Educational Optics: Four Instruments for Seeing and Shaping Learning Spaces — you are warmly invited to join us online: details on the CIC Events pages.
