UCD Teaching & Learning are pleased to present a featured speaker series on Generative AI in Higher Education. The speakers have a wide range of experiences and bring external insights to UCD. As commercial GenAI tools continue to influence higher education discussions, this series offers the UCD Teaching & Learning community opportunities to engage with leading voices in educational technology, pedagogy, and assessment innovation. Each session will explore different dimensions of how GenAI is impacting conversations on teaching practices, curriculum design, and student learning experiences. These conversations aim to support colleagues in navigating the challenges and possibilities that GenAI presents, while fostering thoughtful, equity-minded approaches to technology integration in our teaching.

Dr Martin Compton is College Lead for AI and Innovation in Education at King's College London, where he focuses on how generative AI necessitates changes to pedagogy and assessment practices across higher education. With over 30 years' experience as an educator, Compton champions compassionate approaches to teaching and learning. His recent work examines assessment innovation in the age of AI and advocating for developmental feedback practices that decentre grades. As an experienced digital educator, Senior Certified member of the Association for Learning Technology and Principal Fellow of the HEA, he brings both theoretical insight and practical expertise to conversations about technology's role in transforming higher education.
