AI for Inclusivity in Education

Wednesday 24th January 2024

1pm-3pm

Join NADP board members, Adam Hyland and John Harding, for an engaging CPD accredited webinar with academics, specialists and advisers in AI, digital health and education. The webinar will focus on an area not always discussed, AI as an inclusivity tool in education.

As academic Dr Steven Watson describes, ‘Artificially Intelligence (AI) is poised to significantly impact the educational landscape in the years to come, altering how teaching, learning, and administrative functions are conducted’ This NADP webinar, explores how AI can be used as an inclusivity tool for disabled students. We will discuss its current use and potential to radically progress the inclusivity agenda and create multiple means of engagement for the diverse student body. We will discuss examples of how institutions can manage its increased use, looking at academic integrity, biases, and how it can be used as a learning and teaching tool.

This webinar is free to named NADP members, you can find a list of your organisation’s named members on your most recent membership certificate.

Bookings for this webinar have now closed.

A captioned recording of the webinar will be made available to members following the event.
