‘Embrace generative AI in your teaching toolkit by staying curious, experimenting with new tools, and focusing on how these innovations can simplify tasks and enrich student learning experiences.’ – ChatGPT
This is the final part in our series on sharing the resources from our AI Literacy training. We hope you have found these posts useful 😊. This week we’re bringing you our Ten Top Tips for helping you to use GenAI effectively:
- Bear in mind the strengths and limitations of GenAI. Always remember that AI tools are subject to hallucination and bias.
- Safety first! Never upload student or colleague work or anything containing personal data unless you know BU and the tool provider have a data security agreement (e.g. Turnitin).
- Generic tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini are good, but remember that you can also use more specialist tools, for example for generating quizzes or PowerPoints.
- It’s very difficult to evidence AI-generated student work with sufficient reliability. One way to deal with academic integrity is to use authentic assessments that are more AI-resistant.
- Use GenAI sustainably. Think of the environment and your own wellbeing.
- While major technological change impacts on the nature of jobs, it changes rather than replaces them. We can prepare students for the AI-enabled workplace through teaching.
- Remember the importance of data privacy and data security.
- Most use cases for AI do not raise data issues. Don’t be put off innovating! Just… innovate carefully.
- Maintain AI-free tasks and spaces in order to mitigate the possible cognitive effects of AI-use.
- Interact respectfully with GenAI tools in order to be sure of maintaining empathy.
