EVENT: <\/strong>The Teaching with AI Community of Practice<\/strong> will meet for the fourth time on Monday 1st<\/sup> December 2025 1-3pm.  We\u2019ll meet in the Library Teaching Room which is a different room to previous meetings but still on the ground floor of the Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell me more: <\/strong>As revealed in the October bulletin, we will share the confirmed Sussex Principles for AI in Education, (published here<\/a>) and will focus our attention on Principle 4: Academic Integrity and Student Experience.  We will take a playful look at the updates to tools like Grammarly and how these could impact integrity, and hear from colleagues about AI use across the university and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Kate Howland, Professor of Interaction Design, for sharing in the AI Teams channel that Sussex will host a visiting researcher from the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, in December.\u00a0 Dr Trevor Nesbit will be with us for two weeks from Monday 8th<\/sup> December and is keen to interview people from across disciplines about how their perspectives and use of GenAI have evolved over the last two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interviews typically take 30-40 minutes, but some have been known to go longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
