The impact of ChatGPT on higher education: what have we learnt?

TEQSA in association with CRADLE present the third webinar ‘Implications of Generative Artificial Intelligence for Higher Education’ series.

This series of webinars addresses what is known at present about generative artificial intelligence (genAI), implications for learning, teaching and assessment and how such technologies might transform higher education into the future.

GenAI, such as ChatGPT, generates comprehensive, complex and generally intelligible textual, image-based and auditory responses to user prompts.

Six months after the release of ChatGPT, our expert panel reviews the impact of genAI. We explore how a much-hyped technology is unfolding in reality from institutional governance, regulatory, academic integrity and educational technology research perspectives.

Join our panellists for some thought-provoking discussions
