TELedvisors webinar - Designing AI Learning Agents

Platforms like Cogniti and ChatGPT offer an exciting new way to design interactive and personalised learning experiences using plain language text instructions – or ‘prompts’. It’s still early days, so what do we know so far about how best to design and deploy these learning experiences? 

Join us for the August TELedvisors webinar, which will showcase four different pioneering examples of generative AI-powered learning experiences in Cogniti, ChatGPT and MS Copilot. Joanne Hinitt (USyd), Matthew Clemson (USyd), Michael McAuley (ECU), and Antony Tibbs (ECU) will share tips and tricks for writing effective prompts and using them with learners. The webinar will provide examples, practical tips and advice to help you design your own engaging learning experiences using generative AI prompts.

About the Presenters
Joanne Hinitt is a lecturer and researcher in Occupational Therapy at the University of Sydney. She has been using an AI teacher named ‘Mrs S’ during her classes. This AI agent is specifically designed to help occupational therapy students learn and practise communication and collaboration skills with primary school teachers.

Matthew Clemson is a Senior Lecturer from The University of Sydney where he teaches biochemistry and molecular biology to large cohorts of students primarily studying Science, Medical Science and Pharmacy. He has recently developed and deployed a Socratic AI-double of himself “Dr MattTabolism” who is enormously popular with students.

Antony Tibbs (Edith Cowan University) specialises in educational technology change projects in higher education. He has recently been experimenting with genAI and developing AI literacy resources and training to support staff, including a variety of AI agents.

Michael McAuley (Edith Cowan University) is a Learning Advisor specialising in STEM support for students. Michael has been working in TEL since the early days and recently has been focusing on developing tools and resources to support students' AI literacy.
