Dr Richard Mason, Curriculum and Academic Developer in the Centre for Learning and Teaching at University of Bath, was recently invited to take part in a panel discussion on \u2018A vision of Artificial Intelligence transformed curriculum in 2030\u2019.<\/p>\n
This plenary discussion formed part of QAA\u2019s annual conference, which brings together stakeholders from across the sector to discuss pressing issues in higher education. This year, the conference was focused on \u2018High-quality lifelong learning for all\u2019. The plenary panel discussed key questions such as \u2018How will GenAI impact upon curriculum design and assessment over the coming years?\u2019 and \u2018How can staff and students be supported to adapt to rapid change in this space?\u2019.<\/p>\n
A common refrain in the discussion was the need to adopt an open, inquisitive, and productive approach to GenAI and education. At the same time, there was a recurrent emphasis on the human, interactive dimension of teaching and learning that panellists saw as vital to students\u2019 educational experience.<\/p>\n
In the discussion, Richard drew on his experience as part of a project team for a QAA Collaborative Enhancement Project led by Abby Osborne, Curriculum and Academic Development Lead at University of Bath. The project is entitled \u2018Making Human Learning Visible in a World of Invisible AI: An International Perspective from the Universities of Bath and Stellenbosch\u2019<\/a>. The project is currently engaging with teachers and students to explore critical thinking as a key facet of the human experience of education and a skill that will be increasingly valued with the rise of GenAI.
