    S3 E4: Reimagining Assessment - Curtin University’s Assessment 2030 Initiative

    After a longer than planned hiatus, I’m excited to kick things off again with a conversation with Professor Mollie Dollinger who’s the Director of Assessment 2030 at Curtin University.  Earlier this year Curtin University released an Assessment 2030 Strategic Planning Document, outlining their approach to reimagining assessment for the future of higher education. Mollie and I talk about how she and her team are supporting the rollout of this framework and what she’s learned along the way.  At the end of the episode, I share some thoughts on pieces I think need to be in place to realize the benefits of these types of frameworks.

    S3 E3: The role of generative AI in student writing - An instructor panel discussion

    This special episode of AI Dialogues features a recently recorded Instructor Panel at McMaster University. The panel was moderated by Ben Lee Taylor, the Academic Skills Program Coordinator with the Student Success Centre, and brings together the following panelists who engages in writing instruction and support for students: Dr. Jonathan Cannon, Assistant Professor, Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour.Dr. Ayesha Khan, Associate Professor, Psychology, Neuroscience & Behavior.Dr. Mayu Nishimura. Assistant Professor, Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour.Siddharth Raman, PhD candidate, Department of Philosophy; Writing Advisor, Student Success Centre. Towards the end of the recording, I pose a question to the panel that challenges the commonly held assumption that using GenAI involves outsourcing your thinking to talk about whether these tools could potentially support the writing and thinking process.
