Yesterday I discussed the initial results of my research project on student use of GenAI at Maynooth's Teaching and learning showcase. A few interesting findings include much less use amongst arts and humanities students, clear ethical concerns and a thirst for more knowledge about GenAI.

Friends, my student was assigned to attend & review a virtual #HSTM event this semester & put it off to the last possible minute. Does anyone know of a virtual event they could attend this week? Could be aimed at public or scholars, so long as a lurking undergrad would be ok. Thanks!
