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.

AI and Education Exchange 

The AI and Education Exchange is a online repository to be launched in early Autumn Term 2025 featuring GenAI case studies in teaching, learning, assessment, and curriculum development spanning both qualitative and quantitative disciplines in the social sciences. This platform will serve as an active space for colleagues to share experiences and learn from each other's evolving practice with generative AI in education. 


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.

Dr Nina Vindum Rasmussen, LSE Fellow, LSE100

Watch video

In this video, Nina tells us about her research into how Spotify both monitors its user's habits and utilises them as 'algorithmic events' (such as 'Spotify Wrapped') and how creative student exercises around data gathering can be a fascinating approach to the topic.

Videos from our AT 2023 Talking Teaching event

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: 

All the videos from this session, alongside ones from our subsequent WT 2024 event, can be viewed via our YouTube playlist.

 

Videos from Events and Forums

WT Ed Forum 2024 promo

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: 

Videos from this Forum can be viewed via our YouTube playlist.

LSE Change Makers' perspectives on AI and assessment

Some of our LSE Change Makers student groups considered the topic of AI and its evolving role in HE staff and student life in 2023/24, and fed back to their peers and the School leadership in ST. Below are the links to the papers and presentations:

Student use and perceptions of Generative AI in their career development

A comparative Study of Students' Attitudes to the Use of Generative AI and Academic Integrity

Understanding Students' View on LSE generative AI Policy
