🦊 Finally, a thanks to Nifty Fox Creative for their fantastic live scribes. A huge thank you to all the speakers, facilitators and participants for making this event a success. The engaging sessions encouraged us to think differently about our approaches and hopes for the future of education. 3/3

Really enjoyed facilitating this session: we co-created a piece of art that encapsulates the values of The Collective (a community of practice) at Mcr Met Uni. Such a wonderful atmosphere as everyone worked together. #art #play #HE #values #community

Nice to hear from students 👏 Knowing how to use the tools is only a tiny part of AI literacy. A big thing that educators in HE can support students with is to be critical of the outputs. Luckily, that needs skills that HE is already well equipped to teach. wonkhe.com/blogs/access...

Access to premium AI services is a significant concern for students

Those able to fork out for advanced AI tools are at an advantage over those making do with free versions. Naima Rahman and Gunter Saunders explain that students have noticed this divide

NEW on Wonkhe: What do awarding gaps really tell us about the experiences and outcomes of students with vastly different circumstances? For Katharine Hubbard, the current metrics leave a lot to be desired buff.ly/3B213uL
