With a basic understanding of generative AI, the next step is to consider how it could be applied in teaching and learning contexts. AI has the potential to enhance educational experiences through approaches like augmenting teaching techniques, personalizing learning and streamlining administrative tasks. Integrating these powerful tools can offer benefits for both educators and students.
