LH240V Generative AI for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education 3.0 credits

The course aims to strengthen the role of the teacher in higher education in light of the ongoing technological developments surrounding generative AI and related technologies. These developments will influence how higher education can be meaningfully conducted. The main themes of the course are:

• An introduction to and basic technical overview of generative AI, from a higher education pedagogy and ethical perspective

• AI literacy: the ability to create, evaluate, and improve learning materials generated by generative AI tools

• Learning with and from AI – how AI can be used to promote learning

• Assessment and examination in relation to generative AI

The course aims to provide teachers with a research-informed, practical, and ethically grounded understanding of generative AI in higher education. Participants develop AI literacy (the ability to create, evaluate, and improve AI-generated material) and learn how to design learning activities and assessments for an anticipated future in which generative AI is widely available.

After completing the course, participants should be able to:

1. discuss and critically examine the use of generative AI tools to support student learning within their own subject area, drawing on educational research and/or subject didactics

2. reflect on pedagogical advantages and disadvantages, as well as the risks and opportunities associated with generative AI in higher education, and use generative AI tools to develop learning resources within their own subject area

3. relate to legislation and guidelines, and reflect on ethical aspects of their own use of AI when designing and implementing teaching activities that involve AI tools

4. discuss and critically examine the use of generative AI tools in the design and implementation of assessment and examination within their own subject area
