CCT GenAI in TLA: From Ideas into Action 2026
CCT GenAI in TLA: From Ideas into Action 2026
This conference explores the evolving role of generative AI in teaching, learning and assessment across higher education. It focuses on how institutions, educators and students can engage with AI in ways that are pedagogically meaningful, ethically grounded and aligned with academic integrity.
Rather than positioning AI solely as a challenge, the conference foregrounds practice. Through case studies and shared experiences, contributors will examine how GenAI is being used in classrooms, how institutions are responding through policy and culture, and how staff and students are developing AI literacy.
The event offers space to critically reflect on what is working, what is emerging, and what may need to change. Participants will leave with practical insights, grounded examples and a clearer sense of how to navigate GenAI in the coming academic year.
Audience:
This conference is for educators, academic developers, institutional leaders and students across higher education who are engaging with GenAI in their practice or institution — whether confidently, cautiously, or somewhere in between.

Theme 1: GenAI in Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Theme 1: GenAI in Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Case studies of GenAI being used purposefully in TLA activities — for feedback, scaffolding, content generation, research support, or assessment redesign. Submissions should reflect on the pedagogical rationale behind the approach, how students engaged, and what worked or needed adjustment. Consideration of academic integrity in the design or delivery should be explicit.
Theme 2: Building AI Literacy — Students and Staff
Theme 2: Building AI Literacy — Students and Staff
Contributions focused on developing informed, critical GenAI use among students and/or educators. This includes curriculum interventions, staff development initiatives, student-facing resources, and frameworks for understanding appropriate AI use. Submissions should reflect on what changed as a result and how institutional context shaped the work.
Theme 3: Institutional Responses to GenAI
Theme 3: Institutional Responses to GenAI
Case studies examining how institutions have responded to GenAI through policy development, leadership decisions, support structures, and cultural messaging. Submissions should explore how these responses have enabled or constrained practice — and what honest reflection on that experience reveals about what institutions need to do differently or better.
