how can generative ai tools like ChatGPT empower students and educators to co-create, personalise learning, and rethink what's possible in teaching and assessment?
Generative AI, as defined by UNESCO, is an artificial intelligence technology that generates content like text, images, code, or audio in response to natural language inputs, using huge amounts of data it was trained on. This technology offers accessible tools with broad applications for students and teachers, which could impact how students study and how teachers teach. For example, with students being able to use AI to write essays, teachers may worry that this assessment method is no longer reliable.

Foundational concepts
Generative AI is a powerful technology, but its impact on learning depends entirely on how the AI solution is designed and integrated into educational experiences. Educational design is the foundation for ensuring that AI supports pedagogy rather than driving it.
Training
You are welcome to contact us if you are a UT teacher or a programme director/coordinator and you would like us to deliver a workshop or series of workshops related to AI in education for a group of teachers (e.g. during a lunch meeting, a teacher’s day, etc.). We currently offer on-demand workshops related to: AI literacy in curricula, AI and assessment, and AI as a teaching assistant.
Are you looking for an online, self-paced alternative? We highly recommend exploring our AI in education resource hub on Canvas via the buttons below.
Toolbox & templates
CELT’s resource hub AI in Education (on Canvas) compiles essential information and resources to help UT teachers navigate the changes in education brought about by the wide availability of AI tools. It collects and builds on valuable experiences and resources developed by academic and support staff at UT, which may be of help to all UT teachers. It comprises the following sections:
- Fundamentals: the basics of (Gen)AI and its safe and responsible use;
- AI as a teaching assistant: increase your productivity with AI;
- AI literacy in curricula and courses: equip your students with the AI competence they need to thrive in an AI-dominated world;
- AI and assessment: ensure the validity and reliability of your assessment in times of AI.
Our hub is a living project; we strive to constantly update and enrich it.
Projects & initiatives
- UT is currently experimenting with its own LLM. Contact: Stephanie Hessing.
- UT is currently experimenting with an Npuls initiative called the EduGenAI platform. Contact: telt@utwente.nl
