What if the information you already gather from stakeholders is all you need to create training that actually connects? 💡

A brilliant few days at at Dublin City University.

Digital Learning Institute’s Cohen Ambrose attended and presented his Gasta Paper, “Architects of Uncertainty,” exploring how assessment can move beyond rehearsal and better reveal true understanding in a changing world.

The conference was full of thoughtful conversations and standout sessions, including insights from Reclaim Hosting on independent edtech, Rob Lowney on student-centred learning analytics, and Ken McCarthy on the Manifesto for GenAI in HE.

It was also great to connect with Keith Smyth, Chair of the Association for Learning Technology, as we continue to build on the new partnership between ALT and the Digital Learning Institute.

A big thank you to Eamon Costello, Tom Farrelly, and the Irish Learning Technology Association team for another excellent conference.

Cohen Ambrose is at today and looking forward to speaking later at this year’s ILTA EdTech Conference at DCU.

In his five-minute Gasta Paper, “Architects of Uncertainty,” Cohen will explore how assessment can move beyond rehearsal and better reveal true understanding in a world of constant change.

Wishing Cohen the best of luck for his session.
