10:00am - 11:00am |
Opening: Welcome Address by T P Kennedy, Director of Education, Law Society of Ireland & Keynote Speaker - Professor Mike Sharples, Institute of Educational Technology, Open University UK Location: Main Lecture Theatre, Education Centre Chair: Gavin Clinch, ILTA Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessment: Issues and opportunities Generative AI systems such as ChatGPT are already disrupting education. They can write essays for students, summarise scientific texts, produce lesson plans, engage in conversations, and draft academic papers. In this presentation I will introduce the capabilities and limitations of current generative AI and discuss how it is transforming higher education, including emerging policy and guidelines for use. I will also propose new roles for AI teaching, learning and assessment with AI. Rather than seeing AI solely as a challenge to traditional education, we can prepare students for a future where AI is a tool for creativity, to be operated with great care and awareness of its limitations. |
