Workshop: Co-creating institutional principles for curriculum design: how, why, and so what?
Symposium delegates participate in Tansy's workshop
Facilitator: Professor Tansy Jessop, PVC Education and Students, University of Bristol.
Slides: View Tansy's slides from her workshop.
Abstract: This interactive workshop will take a playful and critical approach to examining the purpose and impact of institutional curriculum frameworks: the relatively recent process of identifying distinctive values and principles for curriculum design at different universities. The workshop will briefly outline the story of two curriculum frameworks, one at a post-1992, and the other at a research-intensive. It will invite participants to undertake activities to identify for themselves the educational value of articulating distinctive curriculum principles, whether and how they come to have resonance, how they can be acts of resistance in a highly regulated environment, and how and whether they intersect with disciplinary practice. The ‘so what’ question will be central to the activities and discussion.

Abstract: Join us for this interactive workshop to explore the basic foundations of generative AI to help you navigate its potential and limitations within teaching and learning. You will explore effective frameworks for assessing the appropriateness of AI tools for various tasks, enhancing your ability to choose suitable technologies for specific needs. Through practical exercises, you will develop skills in crafting clear, specific prompts to engage with generative AI models, facilitating tasks ranging from writing and analysis to coding. The workshop will also highlight successful applications of AI in teaching, providing real-world examples that showcase the integration of AI into educational settings.
