Intended Learning Outcomes

Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Mapping
Facilitator(s):
Professor Sue BECKINGHAM (Associate Professor, Sheffield Hallam University)
Abstract:
During this workshop we will consider multimodal use of Generative Al (GenAl) and emphasise its role in learning, not just in product creation. It will be an opportunity to think about how we can use GenAl to help students understand and think deeper about their assessments (briefs and criteria). Participants will learn about how with the right prompts, GenAl can help to:
- Develop creative ways to present assessment briefs beyond traditional written formats.
- Design activities to help students' understanding of assessment requirements.
- Develop engaging and clearer ways to make sense of assessment criteria.
