The past few months working with the Supported Education team @UHI_Inverness all about making AI accessible and safe for learners. Excited to share this journey at: 📌 UHI Research Conference (Jan)📌 ALT Conference Revisited (Feb) Exploring AI + MetaSkills #AI

Looking back to sem 1 in 2025. Supported 114 colleagues. Countless conversations. AI in education? Exciting but needs ethics, clarity & practicality. For 2026: Thrilled to join UHI Inverness Research Connect Scheme “Balancing Curiosity & Caution: Ethical & Informed GenAI Use.” #GenAI #EthicalAI

Had a fantastic time at Inverness AI Summit 2025 Key takeaway from Josh Ryan-Saha (Traveltech Director): ChatGPT at Holiday Extras 95% use it weekly, with 92% saving 2+ hours p/w, though tricky to quantify, it shows real efficiency gains using AI @scottishaialliance.bsky.social #ScottishAISummit #AI

Exploring AI Video Tools 🤖 Tried HeyGen, Synthesia & ElevenLabs for a presentation when a cold made me consider AI. Pros: quick setup, custom voices. Cons: poor pronunciation, complex workflows, took longer than recording myself. Useful insights, but not a game-changer! Have you tried AI video?

Monitor with presentation on it.

🚀 Excited to deliver my online session today at the #UHIResearchConference! 🎙️ I’ll be sharing Lessons from Building an Offline Chatbot 🤖 — a journey of challenges, learning, and rewarding discoveries. #AI
