The Atlantic Technological University (ATU) hosted the 5th annual DigitalEd Conference
The ATU 2025 DigitalEd Conference took place on May 13th, 2025, with a theme of Digital education technologies and practices shaping the future of teaching and learning.
The sessions focussed on a variety of teaching and learning themes and included:
- Immersive Learning: Innovative Pedagogies
- Digital Transformation in Teaching & Learning
- Student Partnership & AI Fluency
- GenAI Innovation & Assessment in the Curriculum
- MA in Teaching & Learning Applied Projects
We were delighted to be joined by a number of international keynote speakers.
Professor Phillip (Phill) Dawson, who is the Co-Director of the Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE) at Deakin University in Australia. CRADLE is the world’s leading higher education assessment research group in terms of publications and citations. Phill spoke to us about his research on feedback, cheating and artificial intelligence in assessment.
Associate Professor Sue Beckingham, Professor Peter Hartley, Stephen Powell and Dr Jenny Lawrence, shared case stories from the book ‘Using Generative AI Effectively in Higher Education’, published in 2024. This timely book explores how higher education providers can realise their role and responsibility in harnessing the power of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) ethically and sustainably. This resource is invaluable to educational leaders, HE educators, educational developers, learning technologists, course administrators and quality assurance staff wishing to embrace and adapt to a GenAI-enabled world.
