Academic Manager, Edvance Workplace Training
Alex’s prior roles have included those of Academic Director and as an independent contractor supporting PTE, Wananga and ITPs to build quality systems. This drew on her experience as a Lead Evaluator and Consistency Reviewer for NZQA.
Prior to working with NZQA, Alex held a number of leadership and development roles in foundation and literacy and numeracy training with the Tertiary Education Commission and Unitec.
My presentation will share my journey as an Academic Manager using AI, from my first fumbling's with ChatGPT to agentic AI. This will be an honest reveal of what has worked, what hasn't, where I've saved time and what have been the time wasters. I hope to use the time to also ask participants to share their AI tip or trick, as we figure out how to harness this technology to sort through the complexities of quality and compliance.
