About us
The aim of the project ‘CUTIE - Competences for University Teaching & Institutional Empowerment’ is to develop approaches to improve and enhance digital competencies for university teaching which can be implemented at institutional and departmental levels, thereby facilitating systemic impact and integrating on them the voices of different actors that improve the approach and make it more participatory and significant. With this in mind, CUTIE will start collecting examples of initiatives and actions aiming at developing teachers’ digital competencies in HE (WP2), implemented by various institutions and projects (including CUTE https://cutetoolkit.ku.dk/) across Europe. As a result, we will create a catalogue of actions, and case uses, usable for different institutions for promoting DTC among their institutions. Then, in the WP3, we will work in exploring models for institutionally integrating students’ voices in the teaching' digital competencies development, through co-creation. The ambition of this part is to embrace the student perspective and student influence on institutional resources and tools regarding DTC for support units and teachers to use. The other main objective of CUTIE is supporting and empowering people with management responsibilities for teaching and learning, giving them better tools and strategies to use an institutional approach to support their teachers in achieving more digital competencies. For this WP4 will design and develop an online, flexible course (OER). In addition to these objectives, CUTIE has the aim of creating and maintaining channels of dissemination that enrich the conversation, debates and interchanges about strategical approaches for improving Digital Competencies for Teachers at the HE institutional and individual level.

Significant progress on all the Work-Packages of the project reported at the Varazdin meeting. From my own perspective there's still a fair bit of work needed to complete the content I'm responsible for, but it is getting there and sometime in the next number of months we will be releasing more and more content and materials useful for those in key roles as Head of Department/School or Programme Leaders in Higher Education, as well as for those responsible for professional development programmes for such staff. The hosts, FOI at the University of Zagreb, in Varazdin, were excellent at making all members of the consortium feel welcome and supported. Combining with a major international conference on campus was also an opportunity to share ideas and reconnect with colleagues from other projects and the town itself was a lovely venue and perfect for strolls between sessions and in the evenings.

Leon Furze always has interesting perspectives on the reality of connecting AI with teaching and learning. His latest post raises big and important questions about much of the direction of flow. https://lnkd.in/gC2CCnhg
Guiding educators through the practical and ethical implications of GenAI. Consultant & Author | PhD Candidate | Director @ Young Change Agents & Reframing Autism
New Blog Post! Expertise Not Included: One of the Biggest Problems with AI in Education. There's a tension between how tech companies and governments are saying AI should be used in education, and how GenAI actually works. Huge, general purpose Language Models like GPT don't make good tutors. "Training" them to pretend to be tutors doesn't make them good tutors. In fact, if you aren't already skilled in using GenAI, then getting them to produce anything beyond generic output is frustrating and time consuming. And if you don't have expertise in your subject matter, then it's impossible to spot the flaws and hallucinations in AI output which are endemic to the technology. They're also boring as hell. So why are we trying to shove GenAI tutors into every corner of education imaginable, from K-12 facing chatbots to Higher Ed assistants? Rather than focusing on "homework helpers" and "AI Math tutors", a better approach to AI in education might be found in smaller, niche applications like the recently updated Google NotebookLM: fit-for-purpose research tools and technology products which amplify our best approaches to education, rather than replicating tired, didactic pedagogies. Read more about the "expertise problem" in today's post 👇 https://lnkd.in/gdyT9PtE #artificialintelligence #aieducation #expertise #education

How do students actually use generative AI, and what would they tell their peers? A team of students has worked with us to enhance and expand the open and free 'AI in Education' resource site: https://bit.ly/students-ai. This site contains guidance and examples of how and why students find generative AI useful, and how they work alongside AI as an assistant instead of a replacement. With lots of all-new content around disciplinary applications and considerations of generative AI, considerations of AI for different learning and assessment activities, and brand new examples of useful prompts to support learning, you'll find someone in here that will help you and your students engage productively and responsibly with generative AI. With thanks to the 2024 student team: Jack Quinlan, Angad Chawla, Monica Phong, Heidi Xing, Abby Bobkowski, Ka Wing Cheng, Andrisa Santoso, Michelle Theresia, Annie Yuan, and Joshua Wooley, supported by the staff team Minh Huynh, Jesse X., Michelle Harrison, Tess Aitken, Levent Sahin, Aaron Baird. #GenerativeAI #ChatGPT #AI #HigherEducation #StudentsAsPartners
