Guide Students to use AI - AI-Enhanced in Anthropology Teaching [DiL]

"How do we guide students to use AI in our seminars?" This is the question being discussed in many higher education teaching seminars. Many of us are already seeing the problems that arise when we don't answer this question, in poor papers when students use AI unreflectively and we maintain the existing framework conditions of the course. In this higher education teaching seminar, we address the topic of how to guide students to use AI reflectively in our courses. Of course, it's important that we ourselves have a fundamental understanding of the software and its possibilities in order to provide students with a good foundation and achieve the actual goal of guiding them to reflective use. The seminar itself represents a didactic model concept for this purpose. In it, we try out a useful schedule that you can use to guide your own students. It already includes information, processing and reflection steps.


Detailed schedule:

In the seminar, we will experience an intensive session together where we will:

  1. Collaborate on an online whiteboard platform (www.mural.co)
  2. Receive a basic introduction to AI and Large Language Models (LLMs):
    • What is AI and how do LLMs basically work?
    • Brief historical overview and current developments
  3. Guide students to intensive thinking and exchange in small groups using the Think-Pair-Share method
  4. Productively and creatively test the possibilities and limitations of AI in one's own field together, with a special focus on application scenarios in the humanities
  5. Practice critical thinking and fact-checking:
    • How to verify AI-generated information?
    • Importance of citations and scientific integrity
  6. Conduct practical exercises on AI use:
    • Hands-on experiences with various AI tools
    • Comparison of different LLMs and their strengths/weaknesses
  7. Discuss ethical aspects of AI use:
    • Copyright, data protection and privacy
    • Responsible handling of AI-generated content
  8. Discuss interim results together and reflect on the insights
  9. Conceptualize an individual transfer plan to one's own teaching, including the design of AI-integrated courses:
    • Concrete examples for integrating AI into courses
    • Development of assessment criteria for AI-supported work
  10. Provide an outlook on future perspectives:
    • Future developments in AI
    • Discussion on long-term impacts on education and research
  11. Conduct a lightning round to conclude the seminar
  12. Provide resources and further information:
    • Recommendations for in-depth literature and online resources
    • Information on relevant workshops or conferences

This didactic approach is transferable to many situations with students with various possibilities for variation. Follow-up seminars are very welcome to be arranged with the ZHL.
