Teaching & GenAI
Teaching & GenAI
Recent developments in Generative AI (GenAI) have a major impact on education and change the way we learn and teach. Popular examples of GenAI tools include ChatGPT, Gemini and Dall-E. The current software is able to mimic human language and as such may be used by students and teachers in education.
Within the theme Teaching & GenAI, you can read more about the challenges ánd opportunities of GenAI in education. For instance, it can pose a risk on the integrity of testing methods. Especially if students use it without permission. However, GenAI can also improve education and reduce the workload for teachers. This was highlighted in the TLC Science AI pilots.
On this page, you can find more information and practical advice on how to (responsibly) make use of GenAI as a teacher.
The TLC network collects advice for and by teachers, but does not set any UvA policy or rules.

Recap: Teaching Tomorrow - exploring GenAI in education
The rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping education. It offers opportunities but also challenges and food for thought. Within several faculties, AI tools are already being used in an ethically responsible way. Reason enough for the Special Interest Group (SIG) for Educational Use of AI to organize an event on 19 March 2024.
AI Maturity in Education Scan (AIMES)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly and dramatically changing the education landscape. This is why the UvA and VU have joined forces to develop the AI Maturity in Education Scan (AIMES). This scan contributes to increasing AI Literacy of lecturers, programme directors and faculty administrators.
SIG Educational Use of AI
The SIG is a network of educators working or interested in integrating GenAI into education in an ethical way. If you are a lecturer, teacher, researcher, examiner, or policy advisor with an interest in the intersection of AI and university education, we invite you to join the SIG.
