Phill is most known for his research on feedback, cheating and artificial intelligence in assessment.

Phill’s Keynote will explore how academic peer learning programs help students develop critical capabilities at a time when AI can do so much that people used to do; with a particular focus on how peer learning develops students’ ability to make judgements about quality and the importance of this given the misinformation and disinformation AI can be used to generate.
