Description:

The approval of institutional policies on how to use generative AI (GenAI) tools ethically to support learning, along with the publication of reference frameworks for developing the AI competencies and literacy of staff and students, is pushing the HE sector to rethink assessment strategies. These strategies aim to support the introduction of GenAI while fostering the development of new AI competencies and rethinking pivotal assessment concepts such as academic integrity, intellectual authorship, and the very purpose of assessment. 
 
In this webinar, Mari Cruz García Vallejo explores various approaches to integrating GenAI into assessment. She also proposes a step-by-step design guide to effectively integrate GenAI into authentic assessment. This webinar primarily focuses on curriculum development and is aimed at teaching staff in the HE and FE sectors, as well as professional staff who support assessment and teaching. 
 
During the webinar, participants will be introduced to key concepts such as: 
 
What is AI literacy, and what are AI competencies? 
The role of learners in assessment. 
What is authentic assessment exactly? 
A step-by-step method to design authentic assessment that integrates GenAI.

Description:

Dr Manish Malik from Canterbury Christ Church University and Chair of the ALT South Group will lead the ALT South #TechThursday event on Thursday 30 January. He will present the results from an evaluation of a GenAI literacy session grounded in viewing GenAI as a “mind” (albeit without emotions and consciousness) and a tool in your hands at the same time (bit of balance is good here). The research identified metaphors such as mind-surfing, mind-mending, mind-bending, when using the tool in a specific or unexpected way. Everyone welcome to join.

Description:

This online webinar is hosted by the antiracism and learning technology special interest group (ARLT SIG) as part of a series on ‘antiracism in learning technology and design’. In the webinar, Dr Gurnam Singh will talk about approaches to anti racism in learning design and/or technology, followed by a series of questions exploring approaches to decolonising learning design and learning technologies. Questions and comments will also be welcomed from the audience

Summary: This presentation will explore the intersections of race, racism, and learning technologies. In doing so the session will draw attention to how racialised conceptions of ‘the learner/student’ have become entangled with learning technologies and educational exclusion. Turning to the present and future developments, the session will be a focus on artificial intelligence and educational platforms can reproduce racism, but also how the very same technologies can be deployed to disrupt barriers to fostering inclusive learning environments. In doing so, the presentation will explore the possibilities of a transformative role for learning technologies, advocating for a paradigm shift where inclusion, decolonisation and anti-racist pedagogies become the driving force for all learning design.

Brief Bio: Dr. Singh is (Hon) Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Warwick. Previously posts have included, Fellow in Race and Education at the University of Arts, London and Associate Professor of Equity of Attainment in Higher Education, Coventry University. Dr Singh completed a PhD at the University of Warwick in 2005 focusing on anti-racist social work. In recognition of his work on ‘critical and innovative pedagogy and higher education’, he received a National Teaching Fellowship (NTF) in 2009 and in 2018 he became a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts (FRSA). Dr. Singh's extensive publication record encompasses four books, over 40 peer-reviewed papers, chapters, and review articles, and over 200 keynote conference presentations. His work covers a wide range of topics, including race, racism, anti-racism, diversity, decolonization, ethics, higher education, and social work. Currently, his primary focus revolves around decolonizing higher education, with a special interest in exploring the opportunities and challenges presented by the rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (AI).
