Key learning and teaching impact areas for AI in higher education

• User mindset and culture of change
• Academic efficiency and productivity
• Learning design
• Learner-centric assessment
• Research (efficiency and integrity)

Key considerations for strategic AI use

• Access to GenAI is a game changer therefore should wider use be encouraged? (Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude)
• What about other AI tools?
• New skills to develop such as prompt engineering, what else?
• Ethical issues such as privacy, bias, integrity, what else?
• Guideline and policy development: When? Who for? How to get buying?
