Co-Creating our institutional response to the advances in generative AI with our students.

Abstract

Generative AI has been attracting a great deal of interest in recent months in the higher education sector and more widely. Generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, DALLE-2, Mircrosoft Co-Pilot and Google Bard) present both challenges and opportunities for our educational practices and there is much discussion about how - and how far - we can usefully embrace the technology.  In the summer of 2023, UCL ChangeMakers, in collaboration with students and other central services and experts in AI, initiated a new scheme to provide quick, curated ‘mini projects’ to facilitate students and staff working together to explore the impact that AI might have in their disciplines. We will share learning across the projects, looking at what work happened under the four themes (assessment, feedback, learning support and exploration). We will also include reflections from staff and students on the benefits of collaborating and co-creating when it come to rapid digital developments, and look at the implications of working in this agile way to address future challenges together.
