Artificial intelligence is changing university teaching – but how can it be used effectively? In this series of online workshops, experts from Arqus universities share their experiences and challenges in using AI in teaching. The first session of the series will take place on 28 November at 14:00 CET on Zoom.

The “AI in Teaching & Learning: International Perspectives and Best Practices” workshops consist of 90-minute online sessions, in which experts from European universities will share insights into the use of AI-supported applications and present best practices. This workshop series will aim to explore and discuss both the opportunities and challenges that AI brings to the future of teaching.

The third session of the series will feature four talks on four different topics:

“Compositional co-creation in the age of Generative AI: exploring the role of AI in the writing process”, by Adrian Kirwan (Maynooth University)

This presentation discusses the introduction of Generative AI into a second-year writing module to aid students in developing Critical AI literacies and fluency. The presentation will focus on student use of AI to co-create a podcast and through this process explore the affordances and limitations of these technologies. It investigates current student perceptions of these technologies and the significant positive impact that effective teaching and learning strategies can have on these.

“Using AI in Research and Innovation in Education for Learning Disabilities”, by Conny Melzer. (Leipzig University)

“Creativity Meets Technology: Using AI to Design Engaging Tasks in Teaching German at Vilnius University”, by Diana Sileikaite-Kaishauri Virginija and Masiulionytė (Vilnius University)

GenAI has transformed the educational landscape, empowering educators to create new teaching materials tailored to their specific classroom needs (Mollick & Mollick, 2024). It provides unique opportunities for university teachers and students alike to foster creative thinking, a core skill that is increasingly important (WEF 2025: 37). In this presentation, we will share our experience using GenAI to create engaging tasks for our German-related courses.

“CAR — Compare, Abduce, Report: Designing AI-Enhanced Tasks that Surface Human Judgment”, by Andrea Menini (University of Padua).

“CAR — Compare, Abduce, Report: Designing AI-Enhanced Tasks that Surface Human Judgment” CAR— Compare: place human work alongside AI outputs across text, lecture, and multimedia. Abduce: weigh competing explanations and infer the best-supported position, going beyond stated outcomes. Report: document process, sources, errors, and transfer. Three AI-human-centred mini-cases show how to structure tasks that surface human judgment and provide concise design rules and assessment cues.

All sessions will be held in English and are aimed at teachers, teaching support staff, and didactic experts at Arqus universities.

Participation is free of charge, but registration is required.
