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. Meanwhile, GenAI brings both challenges and opportunities. 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 lecturers, as was highlighted in the TLC Science AI pilots. View the AI pilots here!
On this page, you can find information and advice on how to adapt to and work with this rapidly changing technology.
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.
TLC-FMG AI pilot project proposals
Are you interested in using GPT4 to alleviate your work as an educator and share your findings. Then this pilot is for you.
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.
E-learning for students about GenAI
Here, you can find the special e-learning for students about GenAI. In this module, they can learn what GenAI is and how to use it responsibly.
