Generative Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education

The aim of this module is twofold: on the one side to support university teachers in dealing with pedagogical challenges and dilemmas related to the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in teaching and learning, including student assessment; and on the other side, to support them in capitalising on the pedagogical opportunities that such technologies might bring.

Why choose this module?

Since the open release of GenAI tools in late 2022, universities have faced pedagogical, ethical and policy questions that did not exist before. Furthermore, surveys show that almost all university students, both in Norway and internationally, are using GenAI in their studies. In this context, the module aspires to create an arena for teachers at UiO that focuses on developing research?informed, ethically responsible, and student?centred uses of GenAI.?

The module activities will enable systematic inquiry into own teaching practice, which will be shared and discussed. Thus, contributing to a scholarly and collegial culture around GenAI use in higher education.

In this module, we will work with relevant teacher competency aspects, such as

  • Basic underlying principles of Generative Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models
  • The use of GenAI from the student perspective as well as from the teacher perspective
  • Critical reflection on a GenAI?related pedagogical challenge, dilemma, or opportunity and an action plan on how to deal with it
