CU.til Education Futures Week at King's College London

Session 1: 15 September 15:00 - 19:00 CET - Hybrid
Session 2: 16 September 11:00 - 15:00 - Hybrid

This workshop series explores current opportunities, dilemmas, and institutional challenges related to the use of generative artificial intelligence in teaching, learning, and assessment in higher education. Through a combination of knowledge-sharing, discussion, hands-on experimentation, and reflective activities, participants will critically examine how, why, when, and where generative AI can — or should not — be used in educational contexts. 

The workshop also aims to support participants in identifying key issues within their own institutional environments and developing concrete approaches and action plans to address them.

The first session will focus on teaching, learning, and assessment practices involving generative artificial intelligence in higher education. Participants will explore current research, institutional experiences, pedagogical opportunities, and emerging dilemmas related to AI-supported educational practices, while also beginning to reflect on their own contexts and action plans.

The second session will build on these reflections by focusing more specifically on how participants can address concrete challenges related to generative artificial intelligence within their own teaching and institutional environments. Participants will discuss approaches, share experiences, and further develop practical action plans connected to teaching, learning, and assessment.

Speakers: Jelena Dzakula (KCL), Fredrik Mørk Røkenes (UiO), Robin Guérit (UCLouvain)

16 September - 16:00 - 19:00 CET

Onsite at King's College London

University graduates face interrelated threats arising from the socio-ecological polycrisis. At the nexus of society, environment and economics, these threats defy simple solutions and call for a response from every discipline in higher education. 

Students need to learn how to bring the knowledge, worldviews and approaches of their academic discipline into contact with those from other disciplines and wider society. Through these encounters, students comprehend the dimensions and causes of a given aspect of the crisis, develop insights about where they and their academic learning can contribute, and become able to take action. 

This kind of education is most effective when it deepens disciplinary learning, enables students to bring that learning to sustainability problems, and maintains a commitment to justice - even while navigating competing views of what justice looks like.

 Participants in this session will:

• Broadly conceptualise Education for Sustainability (EfS).
• Consider synergies between EfS, your disciplinary learning outcomes and your students’ needs.
• Experience some learning activities through which students can mobilise their disciplinary learning while gaining new perspectives.
• Gain an overview of approaches to, and degrees of, embedding EfS.

This highly interactive on-site workshop will be useful to participants who have not yet had the opportunity to integrate Education for Sustainability into their curricula or teaching, or would like an opportunity to think this through afresh. 

Speakers: Mira Vogel, King's College London, Wolfgang Deicke, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

A key highlight of the week, the AILEAD Symposium is a one-day international event bringing together researchers, institutional leaders, educational developers, policymakers, and practitioners to explore how higher education institutions are navigating the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence, from governance and ethics to teaching, learning, and capacity-building.

The symposium is jointly organised by the Circle U. Teaching & Innovation Lab (CU.TIL), the Circle U. Knowledge Hub on AI, and the Coimbra Group.
