At the All Digital Summit 2025, the INFINITE project brought together educators, practitioners, and innovators for an interactive workshop titled “Empowering Higher Education with AI Tools and Resources.”
The session created a dynamic space to explore how artificial intelligence can be meaningfully and responsibly integrated into higher education. Participants engaged in hands-on activities, experimenting with tools and approaches that support both teaching and learning in an AI-driven environment.
A key focus of the workshop was the design of ethical, AI-enhanced learning scenarios. Discussions highlighted not only the opportunities AI brings, but also the importance of maintaining critical thinking, transparency, and responsibility in its use.
Participants also explored how to create AI-supported digital educational content using Gamma, discovering practical ways to enhance course materials and learning experiences.
Beyond tools and techniques, the workshop encouraged collective reflection on broader issues, including the global challenges of AI and digital citizenship in higher education. These conversations reinforced the need for a human-centred approach to technology in education.
What made the session particularly valuable was the strong engagement from participants. Through collaboration, exchange of ideas, and hands-on experimentation, they actively contributed to shaping new perspectives on AI in education.
The workshop was guided by three main goals:
- Building AI literacy among higher education academics and students
- Promoting ethical and responsible use of AI in teaching and learning
- Empowering participants as multipliers, enabling them to share knowledge and improve practices within their institutions
The INFINITE project continues to support the higher education community in navigating the evolving landscape of AI, ensuring that innovation goes hand in hand with ethics, inclusion, and critical awareness.
