Practice and perspectives from LSE

Here you can find three main strands of video material produced by the Eden Centre and our colleagues from around the School on the topic of AI and Education. We will be adding more material to this page as we produce further resources.

Practice Bursts

Here we present LSE colleagues discussing their engagement with AI in their teaching, their approaches to both controlling and utilising it in their classes and assignments, and the feedback received from their students, showcased in our new series of videos.

LSE’s Education Career Track (ECT) Network and the Eden Centre have hosted two Talking Teaching events so far, which are open to colleagues from across the School with an interest in sharing practice and exploring different aspects of teaching and learning. In AT 2023, the session centred around approaches to AI and Education. You can watch the following presentations from the event:

Videos from our WT 2024 LSE Education Forum

The rapid rise in Generative AI tools is prompting us all to reflect on our approaches to educational practices. In the Winter Term Education Forum, we aimed to give LSE students and staff the space to explore how and where they are are already using these tools in their teaching and learning and what the implications of this might be for our community. You can watch the following presentations from the event:
