"Nici, in her recent presentation revealed that there are many positives here from a pedagogical perspective. She provided real time examples of what AI can generate (which was truly fascinating to watch as words appeared rapidly onscreen), and how it can be used as a learning tool. Students are relying on AI increasingly, and Nici walked us very effectively through ways in which we can also use it to support their learning, generate new technological skills, and to be prepared for the changing landscape of knowledge."
Dr Robert Dyball
Associate Director Higher Degree by Research (HDR)
"Nici, on behalf of the entire staff at Horizons College, thank you for the incredible work you’ve done with us this year in exploring AI in education. Your down-to-earth approach, eloquent and passionate delivery, and vast wealth of knowledge truly resonated with our team. Whether through your engaging face-to-face workshops or insightful online webinars, you have significantly improved our staff’s confidence and ability to use AI effectively, ultimately empowering us to leverage this technology to achieve better outcomes for our students. We deeply appreciate the time and expertise you’ve shared with us and look forward to continuing to build on the foundations you’ve helped establish."
Horizons College of Learning and Enrichment
"I had three 1:1 sessions with Nici for my professional development. I got everything I wanted and more from these sessions. While each session was structured and tailored, her knowledge and excellent training/communication skills meant there was still flexibility to respond with tools and solutions based on the questions I was asking too, adding even more value.
​
Ethical use of AI, understanding the fundamentals of how AI works and ensuring women are contributing to its growth is clearly at the heart of what Nici does. Anyone like myself who feels confused on where to start, what platform to choose and how best to use it will benefit from Nici's services, setting ourselves up for this invaluable skill as the integration of AI only grows.
​
Plus, she's just bloody lovely to spend some time with! No matter your comfort level, Nici's approach will make you feel at ease and ready to learn (and keep learning)."
