We applied for the DialogEduShift project to address the emerging challenges posed by AI language models, such as ChatGPT, in higher education. Many academic educators were unsure how to integrate these tools into teaching and assessment, and there was a lack of guidelines or structured resources to support them. The project aimed to fill this gap by providing research-based guidance, practical training, and tools to enhance educators’ skills, improve the quality of education, and strengthen institutional digital readiness.
