Introduction

Artificial intelligence (AI) has many potential applications in health professions education, from generating learning materials to providing student feedback and assisting with assessments. Incorporating AI tools into academic programmes creates opportunities for educators to develop new teaching strategies and deliver personalised, diversified learning experiences for students. While there are many possibilities, there are also specific considerations when adopting AI tools in an academic setting. This course explores how educators and students can effectively integrate AI into learning, teaching and assessment.
