What makes homework valuable when AI can do the work?

That’s the question we’ll be tackling tomorrow in our free webinar for teachers and tutors: Designing homework for the age of AI.

We’ll look at how to design homework that still develops genuine thinking, creativity and independent learning when tools like ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini are readily available to students.

You’ll come away with practical approaches to:
↳ design tasks AI can’t simply complete for students
↳ encourage reflection, deeper thinking and application of knowledge
↳ use AI to support learning without replacing it
↳ recognise new safeguarding considerations as AI becomes part of everyday study
