AI and schools: Perspectives from research and practice
Teachers have long used digital technology to support their teaching and school leadership increasingly subscribe to digital management systems (DMS) that promise to personalise and automatise aspects of teaching and learning.
Generative artificial intelligence is the latest innovation which promises to transform learning inside and outside the classroom. But what does the research tell us about this emerging area of practice?
Sue Nichols is an expert on children’s digital lives, student use of AI and has links with other groups internationally that are working on AI’s potential for teaching and learning. Professor of Education at the University of South Australia and a member of the Centre for Research in Educational and Social Inclusion. She has been in receipt of two Australian Research Council Discovery awards for three-year multi-institutional projects, the latest of which has investigated impacts of digital connectivity on children, parents and schools.
Sue will present some of her work, encourage seminar participants to share what they are doing and the issues they are finding, and propose ways to think about this potentially highly charged area.
This seminar is being convened by Liz Todd OBE, Professor of Educational Inclusion,
Trustee for the West End Children’s Community
