The TLC network collects advice for and by teachers, but does not set any UvA policy or rules.
| On this page you can learn more about AI at the UvA, focussed on the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences. Here we try to answer all your questions about AI in education. Find the UvA AI policy framework on GenAI in education. Or, check out the UvA AI Chat: UvA’s own independent chat-based AI application. For practical tips about the UvA AI Chat, check the key takeaways of our AI event in July, where we introduced the UvA AI Chat for teachers. | As we know that the AI developments can be quite challenging for your teaching, TLC-FMG offers AI consultancy for FMG teachers. Here you can ask all your questions about AI in education, from student use to assessment tips |

Using AI to Teach AI
How do you teach a course about the societal impact of technology. For Ildikó Plájás and Tina Harris in their Anthropology master course Designing In(ter)ventions into Human-Machine Entanglements, this meant making the UvA AI Chat an active participant.
Curing Case Study Fatigue with UvA AI
You have a fantastic case study — one that perfectly illustrates the core concepts of your course — but you’ve used it so many times that students are starting to greet it with a familiar sigh. So, Brandon Armstrong and his colleagues had a thought: what if we could keep the intricate power dynamics of the case, but wrap them in a fresh scenario that would be more engaging to our students? That’s when he turned to the UvA AI Chat to act as a creative teammate.
AI as an Exam Prep Assistant
What if an AI assistant could help you beat that blank page and get the ball rolling? Chei Billedo took part in the AI pilot program to see if the UvA AI Chat could help generate multiple-choice questions for the final exam of the Psychology of Misinformation course she teaches together with Anna Fenko. Her experience offers an interesting, real-world peek into the pros and cons of welcoming an AI into your course preparation.
Piloting an Automated Feedback Pipeline with AI
Providing detailed, timely feedback on assignments can feel like an impossible task. Luke Korthals created a fully automated feedback pipeline to solve this problem. His cutting-edge project provides a powerful glimpse into the future of educational technology, along with a crucial warning for its use in the present.

Join the hackathon series and use your vision of the future to help improve today’s education.
Tackling the manual with AI
Is there a manual for the manuals? Moss Shukla created a custom AI assistant, the BT Thesis Guru, to act as a friendly expert on the manual. His pilot project is a brilliant showcase of how AI Personas can make complex information accessible and save everyone valuable time.
TLC-FMG AI pilot projects
Throughout 2024 and 2025, select teachers from FMG conducted pilot projects in which they utilized Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools to enhance their teaching and administrative processes. With the help of the UvA AI Chat’s GDPR-proof environment housed on our own servers, staff were able to experiment with ways of enriching their education.
Introducing UvA AI chat for teachers
In July the TLC-FMG hosted an event which introduced the new UvA AIchat. Here you find video recording, slide deck, and Q&A as well as a summary of the information presented by Prof. Jessica Taylor Piotrowski and Dr. Sharon Klinkenberg, co-directors of the FMG Teaching & Learning Centre.
Technology in Self-Regulated Learning
How can lecturers utilize technology to support students in self-regulating their learning?
In this interview, SELFLEX SESSIES discuss this topic with Eelco Braad, senior researcher at the Digital Transformation lectorate at Hanze and Jarin van der Kooi, a master’s student in Digital Technology at Hanze.
Podcast: The Learning Curve

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.
