Content:
Due to rapid changes in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) we experience new challenges and new possibilities in higher education.
In this workshop, we will discuss how AI can be integrated into teaching and learning endeavors, and how we, as educators, can help our students competently use AI tools in their learning processes.
Therefore, we will focus on the use of generative AI (GenAI), such as ChatGPT, and reflect on the practical and ethical issues that need to be considered when dealing with GenAI in higher education (and beyond). Moreover, in relation to your own experiences and specific teaching contexts, we will analyze and (re)design approaches to foster competent use of AI in your courses.
