Embracing AI to Become a More Efficient Teacher and Modelling the Use of AI for Students to Support Their Learning When They Are Independently Studying.

Objectives:

To explore how we can use AI (as teachers) to generate resources, be more efficient, and intelligently support students’ learning.

To consider how we can model AI use and show practices that are transferable to students to responsibly support their own learning.

To explore how we might train students to use AI responsibly to support, extend, and improve their independent study at home.

Practical Strategies:

In the session, we will go through some steps that the presenter has found useful when creating a ‘bot’ or training an AI to help support resource creation, and also the steps we can share with students to help them create their own bot for their study of the subject (or we can create a ‘bot’ for the students to use).

The presenter will explain the steps recommended to improve the quality of any AI-created assessment or consolidation material chosen to make for the specification(s)/curriculum, e.g., when generating exam-style multiple-choice questions, providing worked answers to questions, or producing revision or summary notes on a part of the course.

Workshop Structure:

- A short introduction to the objectives,

- Specific sharing of practical steps of using AI in the lessons, i.e. how to create your own ‘bot’ and train it to cater to the curriculum you are using it to support, with examples of resources

- Ideas and questions for reflection on how people might be able to use this approach in a variety of subjects

- Supporting students to be responsible in their AI use
