2024 Symposium
CRADLE Symposium 2024 Delegates
How could generative AI change work-integrated learning?
Held on Monday 7 October to Wednesday 9 October 2024
Our latest CRADLE International Symposium ‘How could generative AI change work-integrated learning?’ unpacked current and timely research questions surrounding artificial intelligence and its role and impact with higher education and work.
AI is starting to fundamentally change the nature of both work and learning. What about learning through work? Many questions present themselves in a climate of simultaneous opportunities, dilemmas, and hazards:
- How will generative AI shift relationships between students, university educators and workplaces?
- How can approaches to workplace learning be reconsidered in light of generative AI?
- What might be the roles of generative AI in workplace assessment and feedback practices?
Our International Symposium 2024 explored many of these questions.
Panel Session
As a pivotal highlight of the Symposium program we were pleased to present an exciting interactive public panel event. Facilitated by CRADLE’s Professor Margaret Bearman this panel discussion featured an international cast of eminent higher education researchers. The panel reflected on the emergent intersections between generative AI, higher education, and workplace learning. They also offered potential directions for work-integrated learning in research and practice.
Panellists

Publications
The symposium led to the publication of a new guide to GenAI in Work Integrated Learning. The guide was developed by CRADLE members and colleagues who attended the symposium. The guide is intended to support students, university WIL practitioners and educators, and industry or community partners who host students for WIL experiences, in navigating the tricky and ever-evolving landscape of GenAI use across learning and professional work.
The set of resources is now freely available via the CRADLE blog site, both in a complete set, and individually for ease of distribution.
