We recently developed the @unioflimerick.bsky.social GenAI principles- these are dynamic guiding principles which provide a roadmap to all stakeholders to navigate current and emerging challenges and opportunities associated with GenAI.

This is a very real problem for all women. The hassle I've received when out running, even from men in branded company vans (making themselves identifiable) is deeply troubling.

We were delighted to welcome Prof Alan Smeaton to @unioflimerick.bsky.social yesterday. Prof Ann Ledwith, Interim Provost and Deputy President, facilitated a most engaging fireside chat with Prof Smeaton on the theme ‘Integrating Gen AI in Higher Education: The journey so far and the future.'

Interesting segment on exam cheating @newstalkfm.bsky.social this morning. Glad that academic misconduct is getting media attention, perhaps prompted by the GenAI challenge but we'll take it. www.newstalk.com/podcasts/hig...

The neighbour's elderly cat and I admiring the fruits of our labour (four hours and two glasses of wine later, the latter having nothing to do with the time involved)...thanks Santa!! Glad to be returning to the more straightforward world of academic integrity.

Today marks my one year anniversary as Academic Integrity Lead @unioflimerick.bsky.social. Starting a new job, heading up a new team and returning from maternity leave was quite the rollercoaster. I am lucky to be surrounded by many supportive colleagues and my wonderful team who are phenomenal.

Our latest instalment of 'Give me about 10 minutes on...' explores the links between Universal Design for Learning and Academic Integrity. A topic we will certainly revisit @unioflimerick.bsky.social #academicintegrity #universaldesignforlearning
