Program
Australian Education & Training Innovation Symposium



The focus of the Australian Education & Training Innovation Symposium is on the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to drive quality student outcomes in skills training and higher education Institutions.  You'll come away excited about the options for your institution.

The use of AI in tertiary education extends beyond the classroom.  The sessions also cover the use of AI as a tool to drive business efficiencies and develop industry relevant content, so be sure to bring along key members of your staff. 

 
 

Presentation 
AI In Business And The Need For Workforce Reskilling

pening the event will be a look at how AI will impact most jobs, from data analytics through to content creation, customer service and even machinery operation. You’ll see why GenerativeAI (GenAI) like ChatGPT is just scratching the surface and why major workforce upskilling will become the new norm.
 
 

Presentation 
AI As A Tool To Develop Industry Relevant Content

Explore the affordable AI software packages that are focussed on the development of learning and assessment resources.  You'll still need subject matter experts, but these new tools will improve their output and significantly ease the task of writing new, and updating existing, content.
 
 

Panel Discussion 
AI Driving Business Efficiencies

Beyond the classroom, look at the options for AI to drive business efficiencies to help your business become more sustainable.  From streamlining admissions process to reporting on the effectiveness of student recruitment activities, there are several off-the-shelf packages that are both cost-effective and easy to use.
 
 

Panel Discussion 
AI-Generated Content & Plagiarism

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolutionises content creation, new challenges arise in distinguishing student’s original work from machine-generated content. Be part of the conversation about the implications of AI-authored text and learn about emerging tools and techniques to detect and address potential plagiarism issues in this new frontier.
 
 

Panel Discussion 
AI, VR, AR And The Impacts On Government Funding Policy

There’s no doubt that artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR) are revolutionising online training and improving access; however, governments are grappling with several issues. This panel discussion will look at the impacts for government-funded training.
 
 

Panel Discussion 
Building An AI-Enabled Workforce

Research undertaken by the Future Skills Organisation (FSO) has found that of all the training packages, finance, ICT, and business are most likely to be impacted by the increasing use of AI. Further FSO research is underway to assess the adoption in the finance, tech, and business workplace and what the implications will be for future Training Package design. The findings will have sector-wide implications.
 

These sessions are designed to be interactive.  You'll have the opportunity live and in real time to offer your comments and ask questions.  Be part of the following dynamic and interactive sessions that will allow to make informed decisions about the opportunities before your organisation.

The Australian Education & Training Innovation Symposium offers dynamic and interactive sessions at that will allow to make informed decisions about the use of AI in skills training and higher education.  It's a technology that tertiary equation providers with a commitment to quality can embrace, not fear.

This event is brought to you by the Independent Tertiary Education Council Australia (ITECA), a growing community of independent skills training and higher education providers that share your commitment to excellence.
