Participants in the PgCert can achieve either Fellowship or Associate Fellowship of Advance HE through this programme, as well as through ENroute, our experiential pathway to all categories of Advance HE Fellowship. The content from this programme has been modified to give a foundation for Postgraduate Researchers (PGRs) who teach.<\/p>\n<p>In trimester 2 2023\/24 Dr Louise Drumm introduced the &#8216;Beginner&#8217;s Guide to Generative AI short course&#8217;, which uses webinars, online discussions and tasks to develop an understanding of Generative AI, its capabilities, shortcomings and risks, and how it may fit into the lives and work of staff at the university. There are plans for a student-focused version of this in the new year. Louise has led 3 phases of the ChatGPT &amp; Me research project which seeks students\u2019 anonymous perspectives and experiences around generative AI in higher education, and has presented on GenAI in HE at various conferences, including the Networked Learning Conference.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>DLTE and Students at Edinburgh Napier:<\/h2>\n<p>DLTE are strong proponent of student partnership, through funding of Strategic Enhancement Projects.
