Monday Motivation: Come to the AI in HE Roundtable!

Monday Motivation time! This week it's a last call for scholars in Higher Education at the 'Director, L&T' or similar level to come along to our 'Australian HE Leaders Round Table on Curriculum and Assessment Reform' scheduled for 6th February 2025. This Round Table for key HE L&T staff has become a standard feature of our practice over the last few years (since GenAI came on the scene) and this year is scheduled the day before our third AI in HE Symposium (https://educational-innovation.sydney.edu.au/teaching@sydney/2025-ai-in-higher-education-symposium/) hosted by the University of Sydney.

At each round table we hammer out action plans for ANZ HE institutions (often in response to Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency requirements) and I feel like our team (led this year by Tim Fawns) does a great job in turning the thoughts of the sector into real action that can be taken back to each institution! Check out our working paper here for an example of what we did in one of these sessions (https://osf.io/preprints/edarxiv/9wa8p).

So if you're at this level at an Australasian HE institution and are interested in coming along, message me for a link to the registration form. ;) And just to keep the algorithm happy, see below an image generated by ChatGPT on 'academic roundtable' that makes us all look very studious! See some of you in February. :)
