HA Webinar: Immersive history, AI, and the making/unmaking of student understanding
AI in primary history
Event Type: CPD
Takes Place: 11th March 2026
Time: 4pm-5pm
Venue: Zoom
Description: AI-driven immersive history is entering our classrooms in ways previously unimaginable. Through interactive simulations, image and video generation and storytelling, students will be able to explore historical events and environments with unprecedented stimulus and immediacy. Yet, this technological leap prompts a critical question: are these sophisticated tools genuinely empowering students to think historically, or are they fostering a passive consumption of pre-packaged narratives that diminish children's own interpretive agency?
