Generative AI for consistent and equitable tutor and marker training

Tap more into the full potential of your tutors and markers with our innovative workshop exploring another key productivity benefit of gen-AI.

This workshop introduces course coordinators to innovative strategies for using generative AI to develop training resources and sessions aimed at upskilling tutors and markers. It does not focus on using AI for marking but rather on enhancing the consistency and quality of their performance. The session will explore how AI tools can help standardise training materials, minimise expertise gaps, and support creativity and innovation in student-centred teaching. By maintaining a consistent knowledge base and processes, participants will learn how to reduce the cognitive load on their tutors and markers, enabling them to better engage students and provide meaningful feedback, ultimately leading to a more equitable learning experience.

Learning objectives

In this workshop, you will be supported to:

• Understand the role and impact of tutors and markers on student evaluations and learning outcomes.
• Learn methods to minimise the expertise gap among teaching staff through targeted training techniques and AI support.
• Explore the use of generative AI in standardising knowledge and processes, optimising cognitive load, and promoting innovative teaching practices.
• Gain practical insights into designing synchronous activities, refining rubrics, and developing asynchronous training resources using generative AI.
