Colleagues from our team attended this year’s Digifest to explore the latest products and services in educational technology.
As expected, AI was a hot topic. Sunil and Nadine joined a session to find out how the art of storytelling in learning is impacted by the use of generative AI, while Paul listened to a keynote speech which questioned if we should reframe how we view AI.
