4th Annual AI Community of Practice

Last updated: Wednesday, 26 November 2025

When & where
Move over COP30. The 4th Sussex Ai Community of Practice (AiCOP) is being held on 1 December 2025.
1pm–3pm in the Library Teaching Room.
What to expect
Following on from the Ai Summit (held in the spring), we will share the confirmed Sussex Principles for AI in Education, (published here) and will focus our attention on Principle 4: Academic Integrity and Student Experience “... robust pedagogical design where AI is incorporated into teaching, learning and assessment practices and processes.....”.
We will take a playful look at the updates to tools like Grammarly and how these could impact integrity, and hear from colleagues about AI use across the University and beyond.
There will be lightening talks on subjects like the experiences and expectations of students currently in secondary education and the use of chatbots for assessments and class work. There will be plenty time for the community to discuss and share their thoughts and feelings, about the talks, reflections on how far we have come, and where we are heading.
