The panel seated in comfy chairs with a backdrop of the screen displaying a book cover, "how to enable engagement between universities and business" in a dark lecture theatre

Wonderful to be at the #acen2024 #herdsa2024 snapshots. Put on by the Victorian branches of the two associations, now in its 10th year.

Panel keynote on industry engagement & partnership - learning about the history of WIL.

Mollie at the lectern, presenting in a room with huge chandeliers and pillars blocking the view.

Back for day two of #acen2024. Mollie Dollinger presenting on her work done with Juuso Nieminen and Rachel Finneran. Looking at students witb disabilities' experiences in work integrated learning.

Michelle Eady & Bonnie Dean doing an improvised presentation on behalf of their PhD student Emily Garant Jones

An improvised presentation by Michelle & Bonnie since the video PowerPoint from Emily Garant Jones isn't working. You can tell they're great supervisors!

Today is about FiF student experiences in WIL

#acen2024

One of her studies published here www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Policy and processes are important

Wayne discussing RPL for WIL which sounds like a hot topic... recognising that students at Deakin might already have a job related to their degree and are studying to get formal recognition to progress their career, they're studying at night etc.

#acen2024

Wayne standing at the lectern with a title side displayed on the projector screens behind them

As usual, great to find out what Deakin colleagues are doing through attending their presentations.

Here's Wayne Read, also saw Karen Young's presentation earlier with Joe Malibiran & Ondine Bradbury.

#acen2024

Some closing comments about focussing on doing good and clarifying benefits for individuals and society. Let's hope it happens... No simple solutions, only complex systems.

#acen2024

Brings it back to how we prepare students for WIL and attuning to different socio-political environments for genAI use

#acen2024

Tania reminds us students will cross pollinate between different learning & industry contexts too.

Bonnie quotes Phill Dawson reminding us of state of thr art vs state of the actual. Brings it back to what might be coming for WIL - feedback, learning, admin, matching.

#acen2024

Next question is about data privacy and policy.

Reg jumps in. Collaborative opportunities betwen uni & industry - exposure to latest tech & capability important inputs to student learning.

#acen2024

Tania elaborates on that - Accord at least acknowledges the EDI problem.

But genAI also makes everything bland and reduces diversity in outputs - a real concern and threat to valuing differences in society

#acen2024

Brilliant question about implications for equity and diversity. Jason says he spent some time with ACSES, schools framework is a good starting point.

Digital divide will exists but need a more sophisticated approach than just access to tools

#ACEN2024

Next q about mis/dis information. Jason responds need to foster critical thinking skills... Possibly even digital literacy. And teaching epistemic stuff around what is knowledge, even.

Tania responds it's even about fact checking! Humans need to be more sceptical hey.

#acen2024

Question about extending vs offloading.

Reg responds that in industry might be seen as automating and this then offers opportunities for new/different jobs.

#acen2024

Also workplaces will differ on policies for uses of AI so need to prepare students for the settings they'll be going into, which may be different to the entangled ways they've used it in other contexts.

#acen2024

Tania: sectorwide there's a lot of uncertainty, and the Accord has pointed out some directions (though has been relatively silent on other matters, like GenAI)

Bonnie: clear expectations in industry & uni, but still impacts on student identity development (as per a student story)

#acen2024

Panel members sitting on the stage, not in the same order as on the slide behind them

Time for the #acen2024 keynote panel.

Reg Johnstone from Cisco, Tania Broadley from UCanberra and Bonnie Dean from UoW.

Reg says we're just on the start of the curve to change in industry. Recalls same conversation with the internet back in the day.

And look, he didn't quite put evaluative judgement on the slide but here's our take on it

www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

#acen2024

List of human things

Jason says he's not convinced that even if learning needs to change in response to genAI, it's not just more on how machines work.

Suggests it's the human capabilities which are important.

#acen2024

So Jason reiterates the importance of being human and developing human capabilities. Cites Danny Liu on things like critical thinking creativity.

And while focus has been on cheating, echoes Cath Ellis's contention we need to look for evidence of learning instead.

#acen2024

The concept of the jagged edge - progress and incorporation isn't uniform. Need to take this into account. The future is very uncertain.

#acen2024

Ai transaction, ai relationally, ai in a complex network

Suggests there are three "thresholds" for genAI use (I think in the conceptual change sense)

This last complex network idea is advanced in this paper with Paula de Barba & Jac Broadbent

open-publishing.org/journals/ind...

#acen2024

It’s not like a calculator, so what is the relationship between learners and generative artificial intelligence? It is becoming apparent that generative AI has significant implications for education. However, previous technologies that have had a large impact, such as calculators, do not provide a suitable mo...

Now onto the contentions in this paper www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
