The rapid development of GenAI is transforming the landscape of higher education, challenging traditional approaches to teaching, learning, and assessment. This talk explores both immediate priorities and longer-term strategies to address the opportunities and risks that GenAI brings to education. We will discuss practical steps educators can take now to encourage learning, as well as future-oriented reforms needed to equip students with the skills and attributes essential for a rapidly evolving world. Join us to examine what should be re-emphasised, reimagined, or reintroduced in university courses to thrive in the GenAI era.
