Response to a Reddit post about a course outline saying the lecturer used ChatGPT for course content: "People thought we would have flying cars by now. Instead we have fully automated university classes where everything on both the student and faculty sides is done completely by AI with no human input."
From a certain university's subreddit. #ASCILITE2025 #ascilite25
Some themes emerging with using AI in the sessions I have attended, Ai is questionable with dealing with complex tasks, criticality, failure to understand context, bias, exclusion and ethics #ascilite2025
Some powerful concluding notes from the keynote: a call to be playful with AI, focus on learning rather than efficiency, design feedback-rich ecosystems, apply evaluative judgement, and embrace transparency to sustain trust.

Final presentation of the year delivered. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve presented about #11ty for #ReclaimOpen25, open learning design systems for #OERCamp and yesterday on my teams work to Reframe learning design as a solution to complex problems at #Ascilite2025.
A powerful question: Are we handing over too much judgement to AI?
It pushes us to consider who is really “behind the wheel” — and, importantly, what kind of graduates we want to shape for tomorrow’s world.
#ASCILITE2025 #ascilite25
Despite advances in AI, students continue to place greater trust in feedback from their teachers. The human connection still matters most in making sense of learning.
#ASCILITE2025 #ascilite25
Three guiding questions are shaping this discussion on AI and feedback:
Can we use AI for feedback?
Should we?
And if so, how?
A thoughtful frame for navigating possibility and responsibility.

Day 2 opens with a keynote by Professor Michael Henderson, focusing on feedback in a world shaped by synthetic voices. He begins by centring feedback as a learner-driven process of making sense of information to support learning.

Final planned presentation of the year delivered. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve presented about #11ty for #ReclaimOpen25, open learning design systems for #OERCamp and today on my teams work to Reframe learning design as a solution to complex problems at #Ascilite2025.
Oh yay! I'm so glad to hear that! I was thinking of you both and sending you the best! #ascilite2025
That is a relief because we have provided resources for that purpose at the Battle of the Bots (Wednesday session). #ascilite2025
We are missing you @katiedigc.bsky.social #ascilite2025. Poster session was great fun with @pennyjw.bsky.social
Day 1, so many connections, thank goodness for paper printouts of the program! Information abundance overloads the ability to make concise lines. #ascilite2025
#ascilite2025 #aiethics Sitting through a few of the gen AI sessions, the impression I am getting from the work that has been presented so far is that it is ok and ethically ‘acceptable’ to ‘upload’ resources to a platform. #ascilite25
Can we please get roving mics for session presenters? #ASCILITE2025 #accessibility
Superb, thoughtful opening keynote from Kelly Matthews on the importance of considering emotion in L&T at #ASCILITE2025 One of he best I've seen

We are now exploring trust in higher education: trusting the unknown, and trusting one another in learning relationships that embrace uncertainty. A timely idea in an AI-shaped future.

Two women on a stage
"AI makes everything the same. I don't want to be the same" - student voices. Kelly Matthews @ #ASCILITE2025
Have we bought into the AI hype without questioning it? Is it truly ‘intelligence’ or large scale convenient prediction? #ascilite2025
The keynote dives deeper into how we feel about AI. Live poll results show a familiar emotional mix: some of us are grateful, some are worried, some frightened —often all at once. Student research across multiple universities shows the same pattern.
#ASCILITE2025 #ascilite25
The keynote shifts to why feelings matter, especially as AI transforms higher education.
Human relationships remain fundamental: how we know, act and feel shapes learning. A timely reminder that the future of higher education is still deeply human.
#ASCILITE2025 #ascilite25
The first keynote is now underway with Professor Kelly Matthews presenting ‘How Are You Feeling About the Future? And Why it Matters for Higher Education’.
She opens by asking us a powerful question: How do we feel about the future?

A warm welcome from Professor Michael Cowling to open this year’s conference. A great start with a clear focus on community, innovation and learning.
#ASCILITE2025 #ascilite25
Opened the day with a generous Welcome to Country by Elder Elaine Magias. A grounding reminder of place, culture, and responsibility as we gather to learn together.
