Online Course ‘A Hands-on Guide to Ethical AI in Higher Education‘
This course is aimed at higher education educators. It provides a structured introduction to the opportunities, challenges and implications of using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in teaching and learning at university level. Following the ADDIE model, you will engage with concepts, examples and practical activities designed to encourage critical reflection and responsible experimentation with GenAI. Throughout the course, the TaLAI Guy will help you navigate your learning journey and the Ethics and Knowledge Guys will prompt you to reflect on ethical, pedagogical and knowledge-related questions. Designed by a team of European educators and researchers, the course combines English-language content with multilingual summaries to facilitate transfer into various institutional contexts, helping you to develop the confidence, insight and informed judgement necessary for working with GenAI in your own practice.
TaLAI Policy Guidelines for assessment in the context of GenAI in higher education
These assessment guidelines for educators represent an ongoing and evolving framework aimed at addressing the challenges and opportunities presented by Generative AI (GenAI) in higher education. They are not intended to provide a singular, definitive solution but should rather be combined and adapted based on context, discipline, and pedagogical needs. Higher education institutions should consider investing in the development of expert groups or consortia to continually brainstorm and imagine alternative approaches to keep institutions up to date and prepared for sudden new, fast technological developments.
Digital Platform
The digital TaLAI Platform, which includes:
- Guiding rules and principles of an ethical AI application in higher education.
- Digital storytelling by academics about the ethical use of AI in teaching and learning.
- Recommendations for written assignments and their assessment in higher education.
- Mapping the instructional design and pedagogical approaches with AI in higher education.
- A discussion forum and practical suggestions, addressing the ethical issues associated with AI in higher education.
