New generative AI systems such as ChatGPT are powerful general-purpose language devices. They can hold conversations, write plausible student essays, summarise scientific texts, produce lesson plans, and draft academic papers. But they have a serious flaw – they are language models not knowledge bases; they output “continuations” not facts.

The University of Kent E-Learning Team are pleased to announce that the next event in our series of ‘Digitally Enhanced Education webinars’ will take place on Wednesday 15th March 2023 from 14:00 – 16:30 (GMT), and will follow the theme ‘Teaching with ChatGPT: Examples of Practice’

Is it possible to detect the use of ChatGPT in assessments? Is it right to punish students for using it or should we be trusting them? And is banning ChatGPT as futile as banning google? Join us to hear from a range of perspectives on the appropriate response to ChatGPT in higher education.

In this keynote talk we will explore issues of power, privilege, and pedagogy in our post pandemic learning landscape. We are delighted to welcome Professor Sally Everett (Kings College London, UK) as keynote speaker for the second LTExChange Symposium of the year.

It’s right to address the threat ChatGPT poses to academic integrity.  But it’s also an amazing new tool.  How can ChatGPT support and facilitate deeper learning? How can it make teaching easier? This online panel discussion will explore the opportunities ChatGPT presents the sector, from admin, to teaching, to learning.
