FutureFocus GenAI

The FutureFocus GenAI Program is a groundbreaking initiative that uniquely combines academia and industry to explore the transformative potential of Generative AI across various disciplines. Our program cultivates a collaborative environment where senior Deakin academics and their industry and professional partners engage in ongoing dialogue to envision the future of GenAI in their respective fields.

The EDA Assessment Framework

Deakin’s new assessment framework, the Empowering-Developing-Assuring Assessment Framework seeks to broaden assessment design decisions from focusing on the use or banning of genAI, by instead focusing primarily on the purposes of assessment in a time of genAI.

XR @ Deakin

XR (extended reality) encompasses augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR) and virtual simulation (VS). Educational VR uses immersive virtual environments to deliver learning experiences through formats ranging from 360-degree video to interactive simulations. It supports both individual and collaborative learning, enables exploration, and provides instant feedback as users interact with the virtual world.
