Dear colleagues,
With the increasing prevalence of artificial intelligence tools (ChatGPT, DeepL, text analysis software, etc.), many students in literary disciplines tend to use them passively, sometimes at the expense of their own critical thinking and analytical skills.
I would like to know if any of you have implemented pedagogical strategies to regulate and optimize the use of these tools in university learning. How can we encourage students to use AI as a means of deepening their understanding rather than as a mere substitute for intellectual effort? Have you experimented with specific approaches to raise their awareness of a critical and active use of these technologies?
Your experiences and insights would be invaluable to enrich this discussion.
Thank you in advance for your contributions!
Great topic! Helping students use AI tools like ChatGPT well is definitely a big challenge for us teachers in literary studies. I think the main goal is to get students to see AI as a helpful tool that has real limits, not as the actual writer or thinker. Here are a few ideas I've been thinking about or trying out:
Basically, by planning our teaching carefully, we can help students use these tools smartly as part of their learning process, making sure their own thinking and analysis always comes first.
Curious to hear what strategies others have found useful!
Students should be educated on the ethical implications of AI in literary studies, including issues related to bias, authorship, and privacy.
Very interesting topic
To effectively integrate AI tools in university learning, educators can implement strategies such as educating students on AI literacy, encouraging human-AI collaboration, and designing authentic assessments that require critical thinking and creativity. By promoting inquiry-based learning, project-based learning, and peer review, educators can empower students to use AI tools as a means of deepening their understanding, rather than relying solely on AI-generated content.
Amr Abdelmeguid Edris Eissa Absolutely. Raising awareness about AI’s ethical implications
Artificial intelligence can be crucial in using its tools responsibly and ethically, ensuring the authenticity of the work and its reflection on the student's understanding. In my opinion, AI should be used according to a well-documented ethical protocol. For example, every university or institution should establish such protocols, each according to its capacity and strategy, as the current situation represents a true academic, scientific, and ethical crisis.
