The Reflective Writing Survey and Resource

Reflective writing is an important part of contemporary summative assessment in Higher Education which is practised across different disciplines. This video discusses the new Reflective Writing Resource for Students Moodle. It outlines how the resource is structured, what it is based upon, and in which ways it can help students improve the quality of their reflective writing assignments, and eventually, develop their reflective writing skills.

 

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education

This presentation discusses a new and powerful way of creating teaching content and student assessments through a Generative AI tool called AutoGPT. Contrary to ChatGPT which is more of a conversational AI interface, AutoGPT is a more general-purpose tool suitable for content generation and creative writing.

Embedding skills development in this way equips our graduates with the with the skills and expertise necessary to thrive within an increasingly competitive job market.
