Activity: Talk or presentation for an academic audienceInvited talk for an academic audience

Description

Does generative AI stands at the forefront of a new era in education? Some see promise of significant changes in how we learn and teach. Historically, technological advancements have greatly influenced learning, often outpacing the evolution in teaching practices. AI seems set to continue this trend. For motivated, literate, and digitally connected learners, AI opens up a realm of possibilities. It personalizes learning experiences, tailors educational content to individual needs, and provides instant feedback and support, thereby transforming the traditional learning landscape.

On the teaching front, AI's impact may be rather more modest. It can assist in curriculum design, offer insights into student progress, and automate administrative tasks, allowing teachers more time to focus on creative and interactive aspects of teaching. The integration of AI in education doesn't come without its challenges. Educators must strike a balance between leveraging AI for its immense benefits and preserving the human touch that is fundamental to effective teaching. This transition period is crucial for determining how generative AI will reshape education.
