Lunch Talk: GenAI in the classroom

This workshop “GenAI in the Classroom” is for teachers who want to move beyond ad‑hoc AI tool use and instead design learning activities where GenAI genuinely supports student learning.

Course details

In this workshop, you will explore how GenAI can function as a coach rather than a calculator, and how to keep humans in the loop so that learning happens in the interaction, not just in the AI‑generated output. You will work with examples, design principles, and discussion formats that you can adapt to different courses and levels, with attention to students’ prior knowledge, their AI literacy, and the need for a climate of trust rather than surveillance. You will discuss and co-create options with your colleagues and help each other ensure that the focus is always on aligning AI use with your intended learning outcomes rather than adding AI for its own sake.

Intended learning outcome

By the end of this session, you will

  • identify and select a specific intended learning outcome in their own course where AI could add value, based on its potential to enhance learning effectiveness;
  • apply a structured process for designing with GenAI, focusing on didactic principles and evidence-based best practices to enhance course design;
  • design an AI-supported classroom task that fosters active and meaningful engagement with the learning process.
