The work­shop shows prac­ti­cal and cre­ative appli­ca­tions of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence (AI) in uni­ver­sity teach­ing — with a spe­cial focus on open edu­ca­tional mate­ri­als (OER). Spe­cific exam­ples will be used to illus­trate how gen­er­a­tive tools such as text and image gen­er­a­tors not only facil­i­tate the cre­ation of mate­ri­als, but also open up new didac­tic per­spec­tives — for exam­ple in visu­al­iza­tion, struc­tur­ing learn­ing con­tent or in inter­ac­tive sce­nar­ios.

After a com­pact input with impulses from teach­ing prac­tice, var­i­ous appli­ca­tion sce­nar­ios are tested in small groups: AI as a spar­ring part­ner, visu­al­izer or source of inspi­ra­tion. The results are incor­po­rated into a joint reflec­tion and trans­ferred to the par­tic­i­pants’ own teach­ing con­texts.

The focus is on the ques­tion of how AI can be used in a didac­ti­cally mean­ing­ful and inter­dis­ci­pli­nary way to cre­ate open, appeal­ing and high-qual­ity teach­ing mate­ri­als. The work­shop is aimed at uni­ver­sity lec­tur­ers and staff from higher edu­ca­tion didac­tic ser­vice insti­tu­tions who would like to gain new impe­tus for the use of AI in teach­ing.

The work­shop com­ple­ments the con­tent of our work­shop “AI, OER and law — solv­ing prac­ti­cal cases together“which focuses on the legal aspects of using arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence in teach­ing. Both for­mats can be attended inde­pen­dently of each other, but in com­bi­na­tion they offer a holis­tic insight into the didac­tic and legal dimen­sions of AI and OER.
