Generative AI in education webinar series

As part of our efforts to help staff negotiate the opportunities and challenges of accessible generative artificial intelligence technologies (e.g. ChatGPT, DALL-E), the Monash Education Academy is running a series of short lunchtime webinars (please note these are for Monash staff only). Each webinar will be 45 minutes, with a short presentation followed by Q&A discussion with audience participants. Topics proposed so far include:

  • A closer look at some generative artificial intelligence tools
  • Detection and approaches to shoring up academic integrity
  • Students’ perspectives on generative artificial intelligence in teaching and learning
  • Examining the ethics of generative artificial intelligence in education
  • Various case studies of use of generative AI in teaching and assessment

Note

Attendees can also submit questions during the webinar via the Q&A function. Recordings, where available, will be made available via Teach HQ, so please feel free to submit questions even if you cannot make the session. Any questions that cannot be dealt with during the webinar will be added to a generative artificial intelligence FAQ page hosted on Teach HQ.
