AI in Action: Vibe Coding for Student Engagement
Graphic with the text ‘AI in Action’ on a blue digital‑themed background with a sparkle icon
The LDTI AI in Action series provides a platform for 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.
Join Dr Gary Crowfoot (School of Nursing and Midwifery) for a discussion on how he has been investigating the use of GenAI to “vibe code” learning activities to support student engagement in his courses.
Vibe Coding refers to a coding approach that relies on LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, CoPilot, etc), allowing programmers to generate working code by providing natural language descriptions rather than manually writing it.
