HERDSA Blog Post: Don’t Be Sorry, Just Declare It: Pedagogical Principles for the Ethical Use of ChatGPT, Master Bullshit Artist of Our Time
Benito Cao, 9 October 2024
Benito Cao provokes us to consider for effective use of AI, it is essential to know how the technology works and why AI outputs can't always be trusted

Friday, 18 October 2024, 12.00–1.00 pm AEDT (NSW/VIC time)/11.00 am–12.00 pm AEST (QLD time)
Topic: From disciplinary teaching and research into education: A SoTL journey
Presenter: Dr Elisa Bone (University of Melbourne)

CRADLE International Symposium Panel - How could generative AI change work-integrated learning?
9 Oct, 2.30pm
This year’s CRADLE International Symposium ‘How could generative AI change work-integrated learning?’ seeks to unpack current and timely research questions surrounding artificial intelligence and its role and impact with higher education and work. As a pivotal highlight of the Symposium program we are pleased to invite you to attend an exciting interactive public panel event.
AI is starting to fundamentally change the nature of both work and learning. What about learning through work? Many questions present themselves in a climate of simultaneous opportunities, dilemmas, and hazards: How will generative AI shift relationships between students, university educators and workplaces? How can approaches to workplace learning be reconsidered in light of generative AI? What might be the roles of generative AI in workplace assessment and feedback practices?
Facilitated by CRADLE's Prof Margaret Bearman, please join us for this panel discussion featuring an international cast of eminent higher education researchers, who will reflect on the emergent intersections between generative AI, higher education, and workplace learning, and offer potential directions for work-integrated learning in research and practice.
We look forward to engaging with you at this compelling and topical panel presentation at Deakin Downtown, or online.

CRADLE Seminar Series: Nostaligic stories in academic imaginaries of the digital
Wednesday 30 October 2024 2.00pm - 3.30pm (AEDT)
In this presentation we hear from CRADLE Fellowship holder Dr Ros Black. In her Fellowship project Ros investigated how collective imaginaries shape the recent and future development of online teaching and the role of senior academics. We are delighted that Ros will share her research outcomes and insights with us.
While digital tools and technologies have become integral to current teaching practices in higher education, their development and implementation is also imbued with stories of the future. Especially with the advent of artificial intelligence, the digital is either associated with the promise of more creative, responsive and accessible pedagogies and the better development of graduates’ future-oriented skills and employability, or else with concerns about what dystopian outcomes might emerge from a future university dominated by technology. Despite this, when as part of a recent CRADLE Fellowship research project we asked senior academics in Australia and the United Kingdom about how they envisage the future of the digital in higher education, a strong story emerged of nostalgia and of lost real or imagined academic pasts. Drawing on selected data from that project, this presentation reflects on what nostalgic stories of the academy may be shaping our orientation to the digital and what these stories may mean, both for the senior academics who narrate them and for the sector as a whole.
Join us for this compelling and this topical presentation at Downtown or online.
Rosalyn (Ros) Black is Senior Lecturer in Education at Deakin University and a recent CRADLE Fellow. Her research interests meet at the intersection of the sociologies of education, higher education and youth. They include the nature and implications of educational imaginaries within schooling and higher education; the changing nature of academic identity, labour and communities; and imagined youth futures in critical and precarious times and places.
