Generative AI is rapidly transforming higher education, raising new questions about teaching, learning, and assessment. In this interactive webinar, Professor Phil Newton will explore how AI is shaping higher education. Professor Newton will discuss the implications of AI for teaching practice, academic integrity, and assessment design. Drawing on his research into evidence-informed education and emerging technologies, he will offer practical insights to help educators navigate the opportunities and challenges of generative AI in higher education.
The session will include live demonstrations showing different types of generative AI in action. Participants will see practical examples of how AI tools can be used in real time supporting educators in developing learning activities and assesment, and touching on how students might use these technologies themselves. There will be some time for questions and discussion.

OED Webinar Series
The Outreach, Education and Diversity (OED) Webinar Series is a series of events that will run every 2 months. They will be free to attend and are designed to support our community of educators, from research and teaching-focused staff, looking to improve their teaching, develop skills, and build a network of like-minded colleagues.
Running across the year, each 45-minute session will focus on themes within the Outreach, Education, and Diversity (OED) remit. There will be a couple of short talks (usually 15 minutes) and group discussions. Occasionally, the sessions will take the format of a workshop to share ideas, experiences, and practical approaches.
Sessions will be recorded (where speakers agree) and made available on the SEB website and YouTube, ensuring ongoing access for the wider community.
If you would like to suggest a topic or volunteer to speak, please contact Amanda Rasmussen ([email protected]).
