Workshop: GenAI and Pedagogical Vision: Balancing Deep and AI-Enabled Teaching

In this workshop, you will look beyond simple prompts and tools to explore the broader impact of GenAI on your subject didactics. When does AI strengthen your educational vision, and when might it undermine it? Which principles should guide the integration of AI into your teaching practice? And when might AI-free education be desirable? This workshop invites you to critically reflect on when and why to use GenAI — and when to intentionally create AI-free spaces that foster human-centered learning.

Through dialogue, a case presentation on Balanced Pedagogy, and an interactive design activity using the GenAI Integration Matrix, participants will critically examine their own courses and articulate how GenAI can align with — or challenge — their educational vision.

After this workshop, you will be able to:

• Analyse where GenAI meaningfully supports or risks undermining deep learning in your own courses.
• Articulate a personal and pedagogical stance toward GenAI, grounded in your teaching values.
• Design or adapt course elements using the GenAI Integration Matrix.
• Formulate clear pedagogical safeguards — such as reflective, embodied, or process-oriented activities — that preserve human agency and critical thinking.
• Lead informed discussions with colleagues and students about the ethical, ecological, and educational dimensions of GenAI use.

Please register at least one week before the start of the workshops.

Note: these workshops can also be requested by programme and course coordinators for their teaching teams.
