Really enjoyed facilitating this session: we co-created a piece of art that encapsulates the values of The Collective (a community of practice) at Mcr Met Uni. Such a wonderful atmosphere as everyone worked together.

Nice to hear from students 👏 Knowing how to use the tools is only a tiny part of AI literacy. A big thing that educators in HE can support students with is to be critical of the outputs. Luckily, that needs skills that HE is already well equipped to teach. wonkhe.com/blogs/access...
