Abstract

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has the potential to transform Higher Education. However, the swift pace of technological change and largely small-scale educator experimentation makes systematic evaluation of sector-wide impact upon practice challenging. This chapter documents a snapshot of an evolving discourse and provides insights into the perceptions of GenAI, drawn from online practitioner conversations. We critically focus on implications and challenges of integrating GenAI into practice, through the theoretical lenses of Rogers’s Diffusion of Innovation (2003), Fawns’ ‘entangled pedagogy’ (2022) and Bourdieu’s ‘social capital’ (1986). We propose a taxonomy of practice that aligns individual values with institutional goals, enabling ethical decision-making and change management.
