Read the blog which details how the project will explore the innovative ways in which AI can be used to promote ESD.
Increasing and enhancing the provision of education for sustainable development (ESD) enables transformative learning for students, empowering them to become change agents for sustainable futures. But how can we ensure that they are equipped to operate in high levels of uncertainty and within fast-changing environments?
Using Generative Artificial Intelligence, educators can explore new pedagogical practices, connect students with a wider range of resources, and support new forms of knowledge production.
This project will create an authentic, practice-led and inclusive set of quality principles that support the implementation and promotion of ESD using Gen AI.
Project approach
Through collaborative fieldwork, the project team are capturing and examining a range of practice innovations in the use of Gen AI to support accessible and inclusive learning, teaching and assessment.
- PowerPoint slides and a paper from BAM 2024 Conference where the project lead presented on the team’s early research.
- An annotated reading list of publications and pedagogic resources to support academic staff and students who wish to develop their digital skills by using AI in relation to ESD.
- Case studies for Academic Staff which illustrate effective practice models and how they can be adopted in other institutions.
- A series of videos where the project lead and contributors discuss their work
- A blog outlining the project background, outputs, future plans and aspirations
- A set of evidence-informed principles and a framework for effective use of Gen AI to enhance learning, teaching, and assessment designs and practices promoting ESD.
- A hybrid symposium event to showcase the resources and share good practices.
- An inter-institutional mentorship programme to support communities of practice, to help solve national and global problems.
