Description

The purpose of these protocols is to assist student teachers and cooperating teachers in schools to have professional conversations together during regular tutorial meetings. Each document requires the use of GenAI but can generate insights or interactions that would be difficult to emulate in paired discussion.

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

These resources were created as apart of a Hackathon between student teachers, teacher educators and school teachers to facilitate professional conversations in these areas. The protocols are design so that they can be undertaken by teachers and student teachers in placement settings.

The Graduate Archive Website is a permanent collection of final year artworks and performances across the MTU Faculty of Creative and Performing Arts and Media.
The Archive showcases all works in full detail, which allows the works to function as high quality research material, and creates a key resource for teaching and learning.

A 1-page guide, co-created by lecturers, tutors & students on DkIT's MA in Learning and Teaching, showing where GenAI can, and can't, support particular postgraduate research/skill development (*reflecting practice 2025-26). Includes student-informed prompts on responsible, sustainable use. An editable PowerPoint supports adaptation to own context.
