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.

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
