Please come and join us Friday July 3rd @ 11am in person in the Emmeline Suite at the Pankhurst Institute, or virtually via Teams, for the next in our series showcasing the creative methods FBMH staff have been applying Generative AI to their teaching.
For our July talk we look forward to welcoming:
Dr Tim Wilding: Senior Lecturer in Audiology: Tim is a clinically registered audiologist and Programme Director of the course he once trained on, having previously worked as an ASIC (silicon chip) designer before transitioning into healthcare. His talk will take a practical look at how AI can be integrated into teaching, including AI-supported formative assessment, automated feedback for summative work, constrained chat systems for patient simulation amongst others. Tim will also discuss the development of student-facing chatbots for course guidance and admissions. The session will focus on “things you can do with AI”, with an emphasis on responsible, human-centred use and opportunities for collaboration.
Dr Shreena Joshi Pradhan: Lecturer, division of Pharmacy and Optometry: Dr Joshi has a multidisciplinary background spanning areas of pharmacy, as well as fundamental research in cardiovascular and smooth muscle physiology and pharmacology. Her current research focuses on the use of AI in education, and she has developed PharmVR, a VR/GenAI based consultation skills teaching and assessment approach in collaboration with UoM based spin out company SentiraXR. She is passionate about developing pedagogical approaches enhancing inclusivity and flexibility, aiming to deliver high-quality pharmacy education that enriches the learning experience and meets the evolving expectations of today’s students. The talk will discuss simulation development, functionality, and student/staff feedback.
