University of Melbourne Events Calendar

As part of Melbourne Connect’s The Future Of series, The Future of Education offers an engaging exploration of the evolving educational landscape. This thought-provoking research showcase will feature insights from leading experts and thought leaders, emphasising the urgent need for new educational models and outcomes that address the diverse needs of contemporary learners.

At the event, panellists will delve into the transformative potential of Generative AI and its implications for teaching and learning. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on demonstrations of AI applications, offering practical insights into how technology can be harnessed to enhance the educational experience.

In a world where the existing educational paradigm often leaves many students underserved, The Future of Education will confront critical questions that challenge the status quo: Should we redefine the purpose of education beyond merely preparing individuals for the workforce? How can we ensure that the integration of Generative AI enriches learning experiences without undermining critical thinking skills and creativity?

With a diverse panel of experts, interactive discussions, and a focus on innovative teaching methodologies, this event promises to inspire educators, policymakers, and anyone passionate about the future of learning. Engage in a vital conversation aimed at redefining education to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving society, fostering a more inclusive and effective educational system for all.

The Future of 2024 series is presented in partnership with Lendlease.
