Artificial intelligence in teaching and learning
Opportunities and challenges
In times of rapidly evolving artificial intelligence, university lecturers will have the opportunity to ask “What are uniquely human skills and competencies that we need to convey and assess?». Instead of focusing on how to avoid the interference of AI we invite experts to frame a conversation to help us rethink how and what to teach and test in an era where AI is at everybody's fingertips and will continue to be so in the future professional lives of our students.
