Dr Nayuta Yoshioka
Education-focused lecturer from the School of Optometry & Vision Science
Generative AI (GenAI) completely invalidates existing assessment practices…or does it? Join Dr Nayuta Yoshioka (Yoshi), an education-focused lecturer from the School of Optometry & Vision Science, as he shares his experience exploring the intersection of contemporary pedagogical practice and GenAI. Yoshi will discuss cases where GenAI have and have not disrupted assessment practices, encouraging a reflective approach for assessment design for educators. He will further share challenges experienced with introducing GenAI as a learning tool to the classroom.
