Additional information:
GenAI literacy grows through accessible, supported opportunities to engage with new technology. Building a university-wide culture where everyone can engage with GenAI responsibly means pairing clear understanding of its benefits, limits and ethical dimensions with recognition that people master technology at different rates. |
Through the provision of the following professional development sessions, LDTI is supporting the university-wide culture where everyone can engage with GenAI responsibly by providing multiple access points to education development. |
AI in Action
| The LDTI AI in Action sessions are an opportunity for UON staff to come together and discuss how they are using GenAI in their teaching, learning, and research. Each 30-minute session includes a brief demonstration and time for Q&A. |
| Recordings of all sessions are available at LDTI - AI in Action |
GenAI Tinker Sessions
| The LDTI GenAI Tinker Workshops provide an opportunity for staff to try out different tools, experiment with their functionality, and think about how they could be used in day-to-day work. |

Clear communication and meaningful dialogue is key to our GenAI approach. Given the continued rapid rate of change and advancement of GenAI platforms, LDTI coordinates regular updates via several channels. |
AI Community of Practice (Weekly) LDTI coordinates weekly updates each Friday morning. These updates are a great way to stay up to date with the latest information, and typically covers:
|
All Staff Updates – The Loop (Monthly) LDTI coordinates monthly all staff updates on behalf of the Academic Integrity, Artificial Intelligence, and Standards Working Group. |
Updates to Teaching and Learning Committee (Regularly) The Academic Integrity, Artificial Intelligence, and Standards Working Group (AASWG) is a formal sub-committee of the University of Newcastle Teaching and Learning Committee (TLC). LDTI supports the Working Group Chair in preparing written updates to each TLC meeting. |
The AASWG sharepoint sites includes collections of resources on teaching, learning, and assessment, a calendar of internal and external GenAI events, options for free introductory GenAI courses, news items and more. |
| Cogniti is an education-first GenAI platform developed by the University of Sydney. It has been designed to let teachers build custom chatbot agents that can be given specific instructions, and specific resources, to assist student learning in context-sensitive ways. |
| LDTI can support academic staff in their use of this innovative platform. See more at Cogniti: AI Agents by Educators, for Education. |
