Responsible AI skills for education

Current research indicates that the role of generative AI in education is a double-edged sword: on one hand it can assist teachers for designing effective learning tasks and resources, on the other hand it can have negative effects on student learning and raises a range of ethical questions.

In our new workshop series “Responsible AI skills for education” we will try to navigate these questions by focusing on specific teaching and learning activities and identifying practical skills you can develop for your everyday practice. Through a blend of concise theoretical input and hands-on activities, we will explore both the benefits and the risks of generative AI in education in short 1-hour sessions on campus. The first two workshops in the series focus on quiz design and critical analysis skills.

Effective quiz design:

In this 1-hour workshop, we will focus on the design of effective quiz questions for your class with the assistance of LLM tools. We will explore both the ethical and practical questions associated with LLM use for this task through theoretical inputs and hands-on activities.

Teaching critical analysis:

In this 1-hour workshop, we will focus on how to help students develop critical analysis skills for reviewing LLM outputs in the context of learning tasks. The workshop will combine theoretical inputs and hands-on activities, drawing on your disciplinary expertise and fact-checking strategies.
