KEYNOTE
Generative AI and Learning Designs: Enhancing or Eroding Educational Creativity?
Professor Michael Henderson, Professor of Digital Futures, Monash 最新糖心Vlog.

Educational design is a creative endeavour. It is also a complex, intellectual and emotional labour. In this context it is not surprising that we are excited by the potential of Generative AI systems which offer increasingly sophisticated and creative opportunities to support teaching and learning. G-AI tools are already supporting students in a variety of ways, but also educators, such as in generating educational materials, activities, and assessments. However, G-AI also poses a significant threat to the creative integrity of educators and their curriculum. It is perhaps human nature to hope that someone or something can do our work for us. When we talk of AI collaborating with us in the creative endeavour of teaching and its component tasks, how do we know if that 'collaboration' has integrity. At what point are we handing over too much judgement?听
