About the Workshop
This workshop aims to empower educators to weave generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into their pedagogical practices, with a strong emphasis on amplifying human qualities like creativity, empathy, collaboration, and personalization in learning environments. Through interactive discussions, participants will delve into the ethical and mindful application of GenAI in education. This session also sets the stage for educators to co-develop a practical framework to maximize the human element when designing meaningful learning experiences with GenAI.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify principles of human-centred design in the context of GenAI-enhanced learning environments.
- Design a concept for a learning activity showcasing the integration of GenAI to enrich the human aspect in learning.
- Collaborate on developing a framework emphasizing human qualities in designing learning experiences with GenAI.
