Webinar overview

This session moves conversations about GenAI out of the abstract, and into the classroom. We know our students are already using AI: how do we help them to use it well?

This session explores the realities of GenAI use by students in vocational education. 

While media discourse has focused on cheating, we know that students are using GenAI in diverse ways. 

AI is being used in VET as a support technology for EALD learners, students with disabilities, and more. The session explores how the technology can be brought into the VET classroom in ways are appropriate and useful.

Please note* To protect the integrity of the session, the use of AI notetakers or any third-party recording tools is not permitted. Click here if you would like to find out more.

Key topics covered
