AI in Higher Education

Although the number of AI tools for education is vast, the field is still in its infancy. As a result, there is limited understanding of how to use the tools effectively in educational settings. Only a few scientific studies have examined the impacts of integrating AI integration on educational activities and assessments. This raises an important question: How can educational activities be (re)designed to be AI-compatible while minimizing risks such as overreliance and deskilling?

The program covers the impact of AI on all three components of Constructive Alignment (Learning outcomes, Learning activities and Assessment) and addresses the different impacts on different Bloom’s levels (Bloom et al., 1956).

This summer school is based on the AI for Instructors training of the ESI/RUG. Even if you have already taken this training, this summer school is definitely worth it! Not only is the programme up to date with the latest developments, but it also offers a practical and personal approach. Under supervision, you will work on redesigning your own educational activity, with direct application in your daily practice. This is what makes this experience unique: you will leave the summer school not only with new insights, but also with a concrete, improved design for your own teaching materials.
