Whether you are ready or not, (Gen)AI will impact the ways in which we teach and learn. When considering the extent to which AI can be used by students in assignments and examinations it is important for lecturers to recognize that research indicates many students are already using GenAI for their course work. This usage cannot be entirely prevented, particularly when assignment and examination processes are not directly supervised. Moreover, we cannot rely on detection tools like Turnitin, Ouriginal or other AI detection software to accurately determine whether a text was written by AI (Elkhatat, 2023). In this Moodle course, we would like to highlight the impact (Gen)AI has on education with four main focusses:
Student guidelines regarding the use of GenAI in learning from ITM
Recommendations on how to mention the use of GenAI in course description
Adapting assignments and examinations
GenAI as a teaching assistant
Note. This page was developed and is maintained by the AI Working Group, established at ITM during the 2023-2024 academic year. Although it references policy documents, it is intended as an informational resource rather than an official policy document. It provides insights and recommendations from colleagues with a shared interest in the role of AI in research and education. The information here was last updated in September 2024. Be aware that, the AI landscape is subject to rapid changes.
