CRADLE webinar series: New Directions in AI Research and Practice
A Deakin-led webinar series with expert panels on how generative AI is reshaping students’ experience, assessment, and integrity in higher education.
As generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) continues to transform higher education, the research landscape has begun to transition from speculative perspectives toward deeper empirical and theoretical insights. This webinar series by Deakin University’s Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE) brings together leading researchers to discuss what is being learned about AI’s impact on teaching, learning, and assessment, and to chart pathways forward in both research and practice. The panels in this series will speak to three critical facets of higher education in a time of Gen-AI: how students are working with AI, changing assessment design practices, and assessment security.
Keep an eye out for future webinars as they are announced.
