The breakthrough of generative AI is disrupting education in many ways and universities and other educational institutions are tasked with navigating a host of new challenges. But in the classroom we might be seeing a familiar pattern: As with most new technologies in the classroom, there is a tendency to design exercises as individual tasks: AI as your personal tutor, AI as a Study Buddy, AI as your editor / idea generator / etc. However, if we believe that learners construct knowledge rather than just passively receive information, it is crucial that we discuss questions like these:
- How can we design good cooperative and collaborative learning environments for students?
- How can we design good exercises for with AI – considering that learning is not just transfer (or cramming) of information?
- How can we maintain a balance between AI assistance and human interaction in the learning environment?
- How can we encourage peer-to-peer learning and social engagement?
- How generative AI can enhance group discussions, facilitate idea generation, and support collaborative problem-solving?
- What are the best strategies to prevent the over-individualization of the learning process when incorporating generative AI?
And not least:
- How can we best prepare teachers to use AI in their teaching?
- How can institutions best support teachers and students in this?
