SICSA Talks Series 

This workshop kicks off a series of SICSA talks/discussions where we will consider how machine learning (AI and LLMs) can beneficially impact our teaching and learning practice. The aim of the discussion following Leo’s talk is to set the agenda for the series. The series will draw on experience at SICSA institutions and invited speakers. The series will include:

• Learning programming with co-pilots.
• System development using Machine Learning components.
• System development using Machine Learning assistants.
• Software Engineering in the context of Machine Learning.
• Supporting students to make effective use of Machine Learning tools in coursework.
