Dr. Mandeep Gill Sagoo, a Senior Lecturer in Anatomy at King’s College London, is actively engaged in leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance education and research. Her work with AI is concentrated on three primary projects that integrate AI to address diverse challenges in the academic and clinical settings. The following summary (and title and image, with a few tweaks from me) was synthesised and generated in ChatGPT using the transcript of a fireside chat with Martin Compton from King’s Academy. The whole conversation can be listened to here.

1. Animated Videos on Cultural Competency and Microaggression: Dr. Sagoo has led a cross-faculty project aimed at creating animated, thought-provoking videos that address microaggressions in clinical and academic environments. This initiative, funded by the race equity and inclusive education fund, involved collaboration with students from various faculties. The videos, designed using AI for imagery and backdrops, serve as educational tools to raise awareness about unconscious bias and microaggression. They are intended for staff and student training at King’s College London and have been utilised in international collaborations. Outputs will be disseminated later in the year.
2. AI-Powered Question Generator and Progress Tracker: Co-leading with a second-year medical student and working across faculties with a number of others, Dr. Sagoo received a college teaching fund award to develop this project, which is focused on creating an AI system that generates single best answer questions for preclinical students. The system allows students to upload their notes, and the AI generates questions, tracks their progress, and monitors the quality of the questions. This project aims to refine ChatGPT to tailor it for educational purposes, ensuring the questions are relevant and of high quality.
3. Generating Marking Rubrics from Marking Schemes: Dr. Sagoo has explored the use of AI to transform marking schemes into detailed marking rubrics. This project emerged from a workshop and aims to simplify the creation of rubrics, which are essential for clear, consistent, and fair assessment. By inputting existing marking schemes into an AI system, she has been able to generate comprehensive rubrics that delineate the levels of performance expected from students. This project not only streamlines the assessment process but also enhances the clarity and effectiveness of feedback provided to students.

Dr. Sagoo’s work exemplifies a proactive approach to incorporating AI in education, demonstrating its potential to foster innovation, enhance learning, and streamline administrative processes. Her projects are characterised by a strong emphasis on collaboration, both with students and colleagues, reflecting a commitment to co-creation and the sharing of expertise in the pursuit of educational excellence.
