Artificial Intelligence in education
This page has been created to house the latest university-supported resources and information related to the impact of Artificial Intelligence on learning and teaching. It will be updated regularly to reflect relevant and timely information from across UOW and the sector to capture the evolving conversation and practices on the topic.
Prof. Helen Partridge: I would argue that gen AI isn't just another tool, another technology that we can pick up and plonk inside our existing approach to higher education.
I think gen AI is a provocation. It's provoking us to think about what's the value of a university degree.
It's provoking us to think about what is assessment? Why do we assess? And what do we need to assess? And what does student learning actually look like?
Voiceover: The UOW renAIssance program is a whole of university initiative to renew learning, teaching and student success for an AI enabled future.
Aligned with the university's strategic plan, the program will strengthen academic quality, assessment integrity, curriculum coherence and institutional capability for AI enabled education, while supporting improved student progression and retention.
The renAIssance program is intentionally designed as a connected suite of domain aligned projects.
Assurance provides the evidence base. Assessment shapes what and how students learn.
Success ensures students can engage and progress. Capability enables high quality AI informed design.
Employability prepares graduates for rapidly evolving professional contexts. Design provides the coherent structure in which these elements come together.
These six domains define the core capabilities UOW must strengthen to deliver high quality, future ready education in an AI enabled era.
Together, they provide the conceptual framework for the UOW Renaissance program and anchor its priority projects.
By the end of 2026, the renAIssance program will have produced UOW's AI enabled education blueprint.
A bold and responsible plan for high impact innovation and renewal.
Prof. Helen Partridge: And I think we're at a pivotal point of new beginnings here.
Scary, but exciting.
And what I'd like to do is work with you and the rest of the university community to figure out what can we as a university do to really not just respond but thrive in this space.
Thank you. Thank you.
