NEW CAS Community - AI
We're delighted to be launching this new community focusing on the ever increasing potential of generative AI in the classroom and beyond.
This community will schedule a programme of events across the year covering all aspects of AI.
The group will have the broad aims of:
- Establishing approaches for how to use AI as a teacher
- Sharing resources and ideas about how to teach AI to all age groups of students
- Discussing the use of AI in terms of students and impacts on society
