Generative AI Challenge Lab: Explore, Experiment and Exchange!

What is the Generative AI Challenge Lab?

This isn't a typical professional development course. It's a low-stakes, high-support, challenge-based learning community where you'll:

• Explore what AI can (and can't) do for your teaching and learning activities
• Experiment with AI in low-stakes, practical ways
• Exchange ideas, challenges, and discoveries with colleagues across disciplines

Over several months, there will be challenges to explore and experiment with on the topic of Generative AI in educational activities. In a learning community, we’ll connect, share, celebrate, and build upon the results of the challenges with each other.

Time Investment

Challenges and corresponding resources will be shared in Brightspace. Approximate time investment is 5 hours per month to work on the challenges. “AI Cafés” (face-to-face attendance) for will be scheduled for sharing progress, puzzles and questions as you work on the challenges.

Background Knowledge

These challenges will build upon and have a small amount of overlap with the content of the AI for Instructors course. Please join us for either or both of these continuing professional development opportunities, depending on your interests, needs and time availability. Neither is a prerequisite for the other. We do, however, strongly encourage all participants to have completed the self-paced Critical AI Literacy module prior to attending.

Cost

Free to Interested Individuals at the University of Groningen (Target Group: Instructors and Education Professionals).

Interested in hosting this Challenge Lab at your faculty?

Please contact ctl rug.nl to discuss the possibilities of a GenAI Challenge Lab at your faculty. You can choose dates, time and locations and we will work with you to develop the programme. The minimum is ten confirmed participants; some seats will be reserved for participants from other faculties to facilitate diverse, multi-disciplinary sharing.
