Description

The online EDIN Impact Analysis Tool, is an easy to use, step-by-step, online tool that allows you to plan, evaluate or think more generally about the impact of an educational development activity.

Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

This tool has been developed to help anyone with an interest in educational/academic development to think about how and where their work has impact. You might use it to plan, evaluate or think more generally about the impact of an educational development activity. It draws on the work of Bamber (2013) to help ‘evidence the value’ of learning and teaching development activities/projects/interventions by offering suggestions for where you might locate specific examples of evidence in practice. To use this tool, begin by identifying a particular project, intervention or general activity that requires analysis of impact. Each of the following pages starts with a question that should prompt you to think about potential forms of evidence. This evidence may be very familiar to you or it may be something you have not considered to date. To help you answer the question, you are provided with a list of potential examples. Having reviewed that information, your next step is to draft your thinking in the box provided. You may also wish to refer to the recommended supplementary articles available via the MORE INFORMATION link on the top right of your screen. Please note that if a question and associated examples does not resonate with you, move on to the next question. At the end of the process, you can export your work to a Word document for further elaboration as needed.

This open course is designed to facilitate the development of your Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy so that you can explore and innovate using Generative AI (GenAI) within your teaching, learning, and assessment practices.

In light of the potential opportunities and challenges of these technologies, this course will facilitate you in exploring the fundamentals of GenAI and AI Literacy, whilst focusing on an ethical practice. You will consider innovative ways in which you can respond to the challenges arising from the impact of these technologies in Higher Education.

Completion of this course will support you in developing a GenAI teaching strategy to apply to your own practice.

This report discusses the views of final year students and graduates who attended a TCD led, multi-institutional one-day workshop on what student success means to them, and what they identified as the facilitators of and barriers to achieving that success. The findings were based on the analysis of four types of inputs for the seminar: written submissions by students on the theme prior to the seminar, student talks, a panel discussion and workshop discussions on the day of the seminar. In order to have a framework to discuss the concept at the seminar, a thematic analysis was performed on the written submissions which students submitted prior to the seminar. Three broad categories of success were identified: academic, personal and social. While initially academic success features predominantly, as students progress through their studies, they develop a more holistic perspective where personal and social success become increasingly important to them. Student success is a broad concept. It is different for and personal to each student and changes with the student’s journey from initial entry to college through to graduation.

While Generative AI technologies have existed for many years, recent rapid advances in the field have pushed these technologies into mainstream use across society. As higher education institutions grappled with these new technologies, initial responses focused on potentially significant threats to academic integrity. However, as our understandings have evolved, there is an increasing awareness that these developing technologies also present opportunities for teaching, learning, assessment and research in higher education.

Against this rapidly evolving backdrop, we in the Centre for Academic Practice (Trinity College Dublin) found ourselves faced with new challenges. How could we best support our educators to respond to the challenges of GenAI? How might we influence and support strategic initiatives and policy development regarding GenAI for teaching, learning and assessment at the institutional level? Conscious that our colleagues across the sector were facing similar challenges, we decided to initiate a cross-institutional collaboration with teaching and learning leaders from across the sector, where we could tackle this together!
