Ethical EdTech Award 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We are incredibly proud to be joint winners of the Ethical EdTech Award category at the Association for Learning Technology conference 2025. Our AI group do incredible work, and it is a real honour for them to be recognised and celebrated for their impact. Openness is a core value of our work, and our award-winning Responsible by Design (RBD) approach is freely available for you to access and use in your context (see the resources section below to access RBD – <\/strong>RBD is also highlighted by Burvill et al., (2025)<\/a>, the ICDE GAC European digital toolkit (2026)<\/a> and the JISC\/EAUC (2026) practical guide ‘AI and environmental sustainability in post-16 education<\/a>‘.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is RBD?
\nRBD is our pioneering response to the ethical challenges of Generative AI in education. Rooted in student voice and aligned with institutional strategy, the framework enables staff and students to critically examine AI through six pillars: Bias, Sustainability, Exploitation, Access and Equity, Transparency and Opting Out. A practical, values-driven and easy-to-use framework, it provides reflective prompts and actionable solutions. The aim is to empower educators to make informed choices about how to use AI responsibly. The design response bank offers a practical starting point for exploring complex ethical issues, and a way to put suitable actions into practice when designing courses.<\/p>\n
