Brief Talk Summary Dr. Simon Bates:

Generative AI tools offer tremendous opportunities to support student learning at scale. They also bring significant challenges and limitations that may make some educators feel anything from healthy skepticism to downright opposition, when thinking about what this means for learning. In this talk, I will present some thoughts on how to navigate these tensions, illustrated by some experimental work on what this might look like in practice.
