Learn how to use UvA AI Chat to work safely with your own documents and datasets, and why popular external tools are often not suitable for sensitive or institutional data.

Learn how to use UvA AI Chat as a secure “AI layer” on top of your own course materials, documents and datasets.

In this hands‑on workshop, you will take a fresh look at your own learning outcomes and explore how generative AI affects what you ask students to know and do.

AI tools make it possible to produce texts faster, more easily, and sometimes with a more polished appearance than ever before.

Already have some experience using AI, but want to delve deeper?

In this in-depth session, you’ll work with advanced applications of the UvA AI chat under supervision (individually or in groups).

In the thesis supervision and assessment workshop, you will receive the tools you need to start a clear and effective supervision process. You will learn the principles of constructive feedback and apply them to your own feedback. We will also discuss how to deal with GenAI and how to reduce the risks of its use for the student’s learning process during the supervision process. Finally, we will discuss the dual role you have as a supervisor and assessor and discuss ways to assess the thesis as reliably as possible.
