Generative AI: Implications for Teaching and Learning

Generative AI tools, based on the Large Language Models (LLMs), have changed the playing field for education, and will continue to do so. Initially, from a teaching perspective, with a focus on the impact on how we assess our students, but other issues, such as ethical considerations and which opportunities the technology opens up, soon followed. It is likely that we need to re-evaluate how we teach and, more challenging, also what we teach in the light of what students should learn at an extraordinary level. We will in this event address "How should we as educational institutions take advantage of the strong emergence of generative AI tools to support the development of competencies that different student cohorts should acquire?".

The event is arranged by Uppsala Computing Education Research Group (UpCERG), MINT, the Equal Opportunities Group at the Department of Information Technology, and the Faculty of Technology and Natural Sciences at Uppsala University. The presenters are among the top in the computing education research field and the presentations will be relevant for educators in general and especially in the natural science and engineering area.

The event is free of charge and will take place at the Ångström building. We have limited space and also need to plan for the coffee breaks, so sign up for the event before lunch and/or after lunch. It will also be possible to follow the event on Zoom: https://uu-se.zoom.us/j/69375495485 (the link might change).
