250307 Artificial Intelligence and Digital Literacy (S) (WiSe 2024/2025)

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has grown quickly, especially since ChatGPT was released in November 2022. As AI introduces new challenges and opportunities in teaching and learning, it’s important for students, teachers and education professionals to understand its impact on their work and classrooms.
In this course, we will clarify what AI is, how it works, and the different types of AI. We will focus on generative AI and introduce key terms like algorithms, prompts, and bias. We will compare various AI tools, such as Gemini, Copilot, ChatGPT, or Perplexity, with traditional search engines like Google.
We will also discuss ethical issues, including user data safety, intellectual property, and the effects on face-to-face learning. We will cover more complex topics like neocolonialism, environmental impact, digital extractivism, and potential discrimination in AI systems. We will examine the myths and realities of AI and discuss its place in current educational contexts.
Practical uses of AI will be a key part of the course. We will explore how AI can help teachers and education professionals create engaging activities, design learning scenarios, personalise experiences, promote inclusive practices, and rethink formative and summative assessment methods. Participants will gain hands-on experience with AI tools, learn to create suitable prompts, and design learning assistants. Finally, we will examine AI’s limitations, such as hallucinations, errors and challenges in finding trustworthy information, which will contribute to participants’ improved digital literacy.
