Session overview

In this overview of the use of large language models in teaching and learning, Hunter explains the technology underlying LLMs, talks about why we don’t need to worry about hallucinations (but should never blindly trust LLMs), and outlines the ways that we can use LLMs to provide personalised learning in higher education. Along the way he will talk about how to approach assessment now that LLMs exist, how to use LLMs in your classroom, and why, if LLMs were a drug, everyone would be prescribed them.
