TELedvisors Network April Webinar - Who Shapes AI in Education? Capability, Confidence, and Women Leading the Way

In this month's TELedvisors Network webinar, we will be joined by Juliana Peloche (ECU) and Nikki Meller to discuss the topic of AI and education with a focus on empowering women and underrepresented voices.

Who Shapes AI in Education? Capability, Confidence, and Women Leading the Way

AI is rapidly transforming education, but the question is no longer if we use it, it's who is shaping its direction. Women in AI Australia presents a practical and thought-provoking session designed for learning designers, educators, and EdTech professionals working across higher education. Moving beyond awareness, we will share strategies for embedding responsible AI into teaching, learning design, and institutional practice. With a focus on empowering women and underrepresented voices, this session explores how educators can influence not just how AI is used, but who gets to lead in an AI-enabled future, ensuring it is not only effective, but equitable and representative.
