UoW webinar: AI and the future of higher education

How will the rise in artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT revolutionise education and assessment?

Some universities around the world are considering moving back to pen and paper methods to circumvent the use of AI by students, but what if there was a way that AI could help in educating students, rather than hinder?
This webinar explores how AI can be ethically used for assessment to help our students develop the digital literacy required, and the need to develop culture of academic integrity to minimise the risks.

Join Senior Professor Sue Bennett (University of Wollongong), alongside Thomas King (Industry Executive – Higher Education, Microsoft), Professor Rhonda Sharpe (Oxford University) and Professor Michael Henderson (Monash University) to learn about how educators can navigate the future of AI in assessment design and implementation.

Date: Thursday 27 April
Time: 5-6 pm AEST
