Mapping Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in Irish Higher Education

As GenAI continues to emerge in teaching and learning in higher education, it is important to capture the evolving practices, research, and policies across Irish higher education institutions. This form gathers information on current initiatives to provide a national overview of how staff and institutions are engaging with these technologies.

We invite contributions on projects, innovations, research, and policies related to GenAI in teaching and learning. By contributing to this dataset, you will help build a clearer picture of the opportunities and challenges associated with GenAI in higher education, inform policy discussions, and foster collaboration between institutions.

Initiative Details
TitleGenAI Learning Hub (OER)
Description

This GenAI Learning Hub was developed with students, for students, as part of the GenAI LEARN project to support the responsible and effective use of generative AI. Topics are divided across three main sections to aid understanding of GenAI before use, during use, and in relation to assessment. For each topic, there are several tabs with relevant information, examples or activities. You can choose to start at the beginning and review all topics, or go directly to a particular topic. 

The Learning Hub is designed to support your decision-making regarding the use of GenAI and several processes and checklists in the Hub aid this, particularly those in How to choose a GenAI tool and Deciding when to use GenAI. 

While this resource is aimed at students, most of it will also be useful to anyone using GenAI.
