Dear Colleagues, (with apologies for x-posting)
The call for contributions to our annual Academic Practice and Technology Conference (APT) "Implications and Ethical Dimensions of using Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education Teaching, Learning and Assessment" is now available from https://reflect.ucl.ac.uk/aptconference/2022/12/20/welcome-to-apt23/. Deadline for submission is 5th May 2023.
The twenty-first Academic Practice and Technology (APT2023) conference will take place on Friday 30th June 2023. The conference will be hosted by King's College London, Strand campus, and it will be preceded by streamed events and presentations that will be made available on our website. Professor Liz Bacon, Vice Chancellor at Abertay University will provide our first keynote address entitled AI in Higher Education: opportunities and challenges. Early bird tickets are available from https://reflect.ucl.ac.uk/aptconference/registration/
The conference will be closed by a panel discussion with Dr Chris Blunt (LSE), Dr Caitlin Bentley (Kings), Dr Thomas Lancaster, (Imperial), Prof. Steve Hailes (UCL) and Sue Attewell from the National Centre for AI. The panel will provide an opportunity to discuss the main themes from the conference and engage with the face-to-face audience.
As in our 2022 edition, our face-to-face event will be preceded by a webinar, hosted on Zoom, with Wayne Holmes on Friday June 9th from 2:00 to 3:00pm. Wayne Holmes is an Associate Professor in the UCL Knowledge Lab at University College London. His research takes a critical studies perspective to the teaching and application of Artificial Intelligence in educational contexts (AI&ED), and their ethical, human, and social implications.
The design of this year’s conference will maximise the benefits of face-to-face methods using high engagement and participation activities such as workshops, round tables and open space dialogue to discuss and reflect on ideas and further develop our APT community. We will invite attendees to engage with asynchronous resources and use them as a starting point for real-time activities at the live in-person event.
Submissions may be individual or co-authored. We encourage proposals reflecting emerging academic practice in light of challenges and opportunities in learning and assessment presented by AI. We especially value proposals which include student authors/contributors. We are looking for research papers/work in progress, case studies, field reports, workshops, round table and open space discussions or hackathons that interpret the conference title and is aligned to one or more of the following sub-themes: Implications of AI for assessment design, delivery and academic integrity; The ethical dimension of AI; How to support students and staff to develop new skills; Learning with and through AI. A full description of the 4 themes that underpin this year's conference can be found in the Call for Papers.
You may contact the organisers by e-mail at: [log in to unmask] up to the submission deadline to discuss potential contributions.
On behalf of the conference organising team and apologies for x-posting.
