DHRN Seminar: Leading by (sceptical) Example: Implementing a Consistent Approach to Generative AI in Teaching

Jacq Jones (they/them), La Trobe University. Thursday 12 February.
A position statement on Generative AI (GenAI) in Teaching and Research was developed at La Trobe University in response to the rapid adoption of these technologies by both students and tertiary institutions, and implemented into all courses from September 2025. In the talk, we present a summary of the position statement and examples of how it has been integrated into undergraduate classes, including discussion, pre-bunking activities, and changes to assessment design.

Danny Burns (University of Wyoming). Monday 16 February.
Recent surveys suggest that a large portion of the population is open to using generative artificial intelligence (AI) for health-related questions.
