Gen AI

In light of the global emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence, this Special Interest Group explores its profound impact on educators and students, particularly within Enabling Education. Exploring the implications for teaching practices and student learning, we consider diverse approaches across institutions and contemplate GenAI’s educational potential and challenges. Join this SIG to stay abreast of this dynamic intersection between technology and learning, actively participating in the ongoing discourse shaping the future of education.
