This resource presents AVINA, an automated visual novel generator using large language models to transform multiple-choice questions into interactive learning narratives. Designed for educators and students, it supports gamified training in academic integrity and ethical decision-making through adaptive storytelling and experiential learning.

The report – Generative AI in Higher Education Teaching and Learning: Sectoral Perspectives – was commissioned as part of the Higher Education Authority’s evidence-led approach to policy development.

The report captures the views of staff, students, and leaders across the Irish higher education system on the opportunities and challenges posed by artificial intelligence.

It brings together insights from ten thematic focus groups and a leadership summit, involving over 80 participants from across Ireland’s higher education institutions, alongside student representatives and sectoral stakeholders.
