Open Talk "ChatGPT: What The Students Are Saying" - University of the Philippines Open University

In the previous episode, we discussed the implications of Artificial Intelligence, exploring both its benefits and consequences. We also examined the downsides of using ChatGPT or AI in educational institutions and explored the ethical considerations that arise when using this technology. In this episode, we will be hearing from UPOU students on how they use ChatGPT for their academics. How do students utilize ChatGPT and other AI tools for their studies? Do they acknowledge ChatGPT as a reference to their academic works? Can students from other institutions benefit from using ChatGPT?

Join us and be a part of the conversation on 26 April 2023, from 10:00 am to 11:00 am, for the third episode of the series, titled “ChatGPT: What The Students Are Saying”

The 7th AAWS Congress opened with compelling plenary sessions that framed key conversations on empowerment, inclusion, and women’s scholarship.Plenary 1, “Revisioning Gender/Women’s Studies in the Post-Pandemic World: Work for Empowerment,” was delivered by Assoc. Prof. Finaflor F. Taylan, Dean of UPOU FMDS and President of AAWS. Dr. Taylan discussed how crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic deepened gender inequalities—particularly in sectors with high female participation—and intensified unpaid care work. She emphasized the need to integrate crisis-related realities, including gendered vulnerabilities, labor shifts, and digital divides, into Gender/Women’s Studies teaching and research, and called for stronger advocacy toward gender-responsive recovery and structural transformation. The session concluded with an engaging Q&A moderated by Asst. Prof. Lorena Jean Saludadez.The second plenary, “Emerging Issues in Diversity, Multiculturalism, and Democracy in Asia: The Role of Advocates,” was presented by Dr. Aileen Park, Associate Professor at Philippine Normal University Mindanao and AAWS Council Member.
