This is an interesting discussion! There are a few considerations when it comes to system messages and resources that seem key here, as well as the capabilities of different AI models. The system message is the custom prompt that informs the behaviour of these custom chatbots. In it, we can tell the ...

Fantastic, thanks for sharing this Jenny - I've signed up and hopefully there is a recording since this is 3 am Sydney time 😬 The Australian Film Television and Radio School is running a similar event on 10 April - the Digital Futures Summit ...

Great question Katalin. I'm sure there are lots of good examples from CG members that they can share. From the University of Sydney, we've taken a relatively soft approach. This includes: Access Working with our IT department to enable access to copilot.microsoft.com for staff, faculty, and ...

Thanks for sharing these Heather, I always enjoy looking through your list of articles. Another from Marc Watkins recently which is worth sharing is The AI Influencers Selling Students Learning Shortcuts (https://marcwatkins.substack.com/p/the-ai-influencers-selling-students). There's so many possibilities ...

Fantastic, thanks so much @Vebica Evans, @Szymon Machajewski, @Brian Basgen, Heather Brown for your insights. To summarise the conversation so far, some applications of multimodal generative AI in education: Interpreting images e.g. historical, cultural images (noting biases) and having a conversation ...

Thanks for sharing that paper @Art Fridrich! A solid summary. I came across this paper this morning via Linkedin: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360131523002440, which has interesting implications for how we use AI pedagogically. The key research questions were, "Do students learn ...

I've only used HeyGen and have found it scarily effective (especially its video translation function). It has a decent price point as well compared to some of the other video AI tools out there. ------------------------------ Danny Liu Associate Professor The University of Sydney ----------------- ...

:) From my understanding, there's a difference between Gemini (which is a single multimodal model) vs GPT-4 + GPT-4V which appears to possibly be two models, but I may be mistaken. I wonder if a 'truly multimodal' model which may have a different (more integrated?) way of perceiving inputs poses any ...

Google unveiled their Gemini generative AI models this week: https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-gemini-ai/ These models are multimodal (text, images, video, audio) from the ground up and are designed to incorporate information from different modes - as opposed to other models like GPT-4 which ...

Thanks for sharing this @Rachel Martin. It's an accessible, down-to-earth resource that provides clarity for faculty. I like how the first step is to clarify beliefs - many times it's the misconceptions about generative AI that hold us back. @Guy Wilson - good list of questions. Here's some things we ...

This is great, thanks Heather and colleagues! As all EDUCAUSE 7 Things articles are, this one is clear and wide-ranging, covering the key elements of generative AI for education. ------------------------------ Danny Liu Associate Professor The University of Sydney ------------------------------

Came across this quite interesting revisiting of Bloom's taxonomy that gives examples of activities at the 6 levels that AI can do, and also examples of distinctively (at least for now!) human capabilities. Check it out: https://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/faculty/artificial-intelligence-tools/meaningful-learning/ ...

Thanks @Jason Bock! I saw the Tiffin resource and thought it was a great practical guide to generative AI. It's great to hear that the Sydney resources were of some assistance. I'd be quite interested to find out more about the bandages and longer-term solutions around asynchronous learning/assessment. ...

Those are great points @Jason Bock. At the University of Sydney, we have the TII AI detector enabled only for our central academic integrity team; faculty and other instructors don't have access to it. The central integrity team may choose to use it as part of their investigations but it is only one ...

I just came across this article on The Chronicle (https://www.chronicle.com/article/instead-of-policing-students-we-need-to-abolish-cheating) and was really warmed and encouraged by it. In it, the author challenges the standard discourse that blames students for cheating, and instead zooms out to examine ...

Interesting question - I'm curious what AWS' take is on this @Louis Brooks if you're able to share? At Uni of Sydney we're developing user-facing LLM applications for education/teaching but not for research as much. For research, we generally show things like https://scite.ai/assistant and https://elicit.org/ ...

At the University of Sydney, which is a different context to yours, we don't yet have institutional licences for generative AI apart from Adobe Firefly (for image generation) which comes as part of our Adobe Creative Suite licencing. For the LLMs, we're either recommending people use Bing Chat in creative ...

This working paper is a really interesting (albeit long) read: The Future of AI in Education: 13 Things We Can Do to Minimize the Damage I'm only halfway through but this is thoughtful and bravely looks beyond the near-term future to bigger pictures of the impact of AI on education, human skills, and ...
