Huge thanks to Professor MairΓ©ad Pratschke who kicked off our series of talks on Generative AI recently. The session β€œGenerative AI : The Next Normal” was a wide-ranging & fast-paced exploration of how Gen AI is reshaping higher education. View it here: youtube.com/watch?v=IovnC5VuUXA

"If students are viewing educational content that was produced partly or entirely by AI, do they have a right to know this?" #edtech #ai

I was delighted to have the opportunity to contribute to this interesting project. www.linkedin.com/posts/univer...

"This paper explores how current discussions about emerging technologies often frame the future as inevitable, creating pressure for education to change in readiness to meet it."

"We have seen examples across the university where staff have been open and transparent with their students and have modelled the use of GenAI. In these instances, there have been very few cases of academic misconduct."

@gravesle.bsky.social gives the @ntutorr.ie programme a big shout out as part of her keynote talk at the #DEC24 conference

What an incredible day at the #ntutorrshowcase yesterday! It was an absolute pleasure to officially launch the National Digital Learning Network (NDLN) and share its vision and initial outputs with so many colleagues and leaders from across the sector. Sharing some harvested images from the day..

Professor @maggiecusack.bsky.social discusses the future of the TU sector and the impact and value of the N-TUTORR project as part of today's #NTUTORRShowcase Presidents' Panel

Really looking forward to #NTUTORRShowcase today demonstrating the huge range of outputs from @ntutorr.ie partners www.transforminglearning.ie funded by #NextGenerationEU #technologicaluniversities and #institutesoftechnology

Really looking forward to tomorrow's @ntutorr.ie showcase at which, among lots of other things, we’ll be launching the National Digital Leadership Network (NDLN). The new network explores critical trends in #HigherEd and provide direction on how these can be aligned with institutional priorities.

I am feeling a little overwhelmed at just how much is happening with N-TUTORR over the next few weeks. But the main event is the Showcase, on 26 Nov, where we celebrate all that’s been achieved. You are invited! Sign up here registration.crowdcomms.com/n-tutorr-sho...
