Using GenAI in Teaching and Learning (Facilitated Module)
Supported by the HEA/National Forum in 2024, this facilitator-led course is now open for enrolment.
This course is designed to help you build foundational knowledge in Artificial Intelligence (AI), enabling you to explore how to integrate Generative AI (GenAI) into your teaching, learning, and assessment practices.
Delivered fully online, the course spans six weeks—from May 21st to July 4th—and involves approximately 25 learning hours. The course includes a mix of live (synchronous) sessions, self-paced (asynchronous) content, peer collaboration, group activities, and individual study.
