Our next special issue will focus on AI in Learning and Teaching
Following the success of the recent Pedagogic Research Conference 2024, the special issue of DAP invites contributions in areas of developing academic practice, leadership and innovation in relation to generative artificial intelligence (AI) that show a forward-looking scholarly approach to how AI has been used in innovative ways in practice for learning and teaching, especially how evaluative judgment has been supported in the context of generative tools that can be transferred from one practice to another. Our vision for the issue is something that people can read and use, so we encourage submissions concerning innovative practice.
