Please come and join us May 21st @ 13:00 in person in the Emmeline Suite at the Pankhurst Institute, or virtually via Teams, for the next in our series showcasing some of the creative methods FBMH staff have been introducing into their teaching with the help of Generative AI, alongside further discussions regarding this prescient topic.
For our May talk we look forward to welcoming:
Dr Michaela Goodwin: Senior Lecturer in Public Health within the Division of Dentistry: Michaela will be presenting findings from a study with Year 3 dental students using Sim Converse, a platform enabling learners to converse with simulated patients. The talk will discuss platform functionality, the development of cases and a discussion of student feedback and engagement.
Dr Elizabeth Lewis: Senior Lecturer in Psychology and Mental Health: Elizabeth’s talk will explore how the shift toward more human-centred forms of assessment in an AI-enabled landscape introduces new challenges around scale, consistency, and feedback quality. Drawing on two recent projects, she will examine how AI can support - rather than replace - educator judgement, including the use of AI as a feedback collaborator and for assessing collaborative problem solving. The session will highlight practical approaches for using AI to enhance feedback and support human-centred assessment while maintaining meaningful human interaction.
