Leveraging GenAI for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment: A Transformative and Collaborative Experience Across Irish Universities

This presentation will explore the collaborative efforts of seven Irish universities in gathering and reflecting on the diverse applications of Generative AI (GenAI) in teaching, learning, and assessment in higher education. Through a rich and dynamic year process, these institutions have come together to document and compile a range of case studies and explorative practices shared in an open-access publication to promote AI literacy and innovative approaches in teaching, learning and assessment across disciplines.

Navigating the Impact of Generative AI on Education: Benefits, Concerns, and Practical Applications

Generative AI has presented numerous opportunities to enhance students’ learning experiences and outcomes. However, many universities have expressed concerns regarding associated challenges, including issues such as plagiarism, hallucinations, and a potential decline in critical thinking skills, which have led to hesitancy in embracing generative AI-based products. While the core objective of learning remains the understanding of concepts and the interconnections between them, efforts are being made to explore how AI, and generative AI specifically, can facilitate greater accessibility to knowledge for those who need it. This presentation will briefly address the challenges faced by our EdTech company and highlight a few products that have been well-received by end users, serving as effective examples of how generative AI can enhance concept memorization and support the cognitive process of linking related concepts.
