Institutions must guide educators and promote learners&#8217; reflection on effective learning.<\/li><li>As AI becomes more prominent, educators need AI expertise to guide learners effectively, fostering a deeper understanding of the learning process.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A promising prospect<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn the one hand, AI is creating exciting, far-reaching opportunities in many areas of education\u201d, says Lippert.&nbsp;\u201cIt is already helping us enormously with getting more specific information faster than ever, and with conducting complex, data-intensive research, which in turn informs our research-based teaching.\u201d Along with this, there are several other aspects where AI is already very useful in teaching. \u201cIt can help us to cross language barriers very easily, and it can make student discussions better and seminar preparations easier\u201d, he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.ioplus.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Florian_Lippert_4724_BIG-669x1004.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-455746\" width=\"301\" height=\"451\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Florian Lippert<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">For example, Lippert talks about the AI-supported digital annotation platform\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.perusall.com\/\">Perusall<\/a>, which the chair group of European Culture and Literature, led by Pablo Valdivia, started to integrate into their teaching at the RUG some years ago. On this platform, students get tasks that include reading a text or watching a video. The students annotate the text or the video with comments or questions within the platform. \u201cThe lecturer then receives detailed information about which passages were most talked about by the students and about which topics there were questions\u201d, says Lippert, which in turn helps lecturers to focus more on topics that need special attention in the classroom.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While AI has been in use in educational contexts for years, he adds, it has become virtually impossible to ignore the topic since the launch of ChatGPT. ChatGPT already has more than 100 million unique users and students make up\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hai.stanford.edu\/news\/ai-will-transform-teaching-and-learning-lets-get-it-right\">30%<\/a>\u00a0of that total, rendering it one of the fastest tools or applications ever adopted in the field of education.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we talk about AI in education, many might only think about the fields of technology, such as computer science. However, AI has become very relevant in many other fields as well, as Lippert explains, both as a topic of research and as a tool for teaching and learning. This goes for his own field, cultural studies, as well as sociology, psychology, the natural sciences, and many other disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic wp-block-visual-link-preview-link advgb-dyn-63429c10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/en\/education-platform-goodhabitz-aims-to-respond-to-the-growing-role-of-ai-with-the-integration-of-chatgpt-into-its-online-learning-platform\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"Education platform GoodHabitz aims to respond to the growing role of AI with the integration of ChatGPT into its online learning platform\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">Education platform GoodHabitz aims to respond to the growing role of AI with the integration of ChatGPT into its online learning platform<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">Eindhoven-based online education platform GoodHabitz will integrate ChatGPT into its offerings for students. &#8220;By using this advanced integration, we continue to deliver on our promise &hellip; <a href=\"\">Continued<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Challenges surrounding AI<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no denying that AI has the ability to change our education in the future. But the question is, does it bring all the positives to the table, or are there also challenges and risks that come with it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome questions that need an answer are:  Where does AI enhance learning, and where does it hinder it? AI cannot be ignored, nor can it be banned from education in the long run. Hence, educational decision-makers have to take responsibility, seize the chances, and tackle the risks.\u201d While university research continues to be important for the further development of AI in an independent environment under standards of academic integrity, all educational institutions should include specific do\u2019s and don\u2019ts regarding AI in their teaching and learning guidelines. Educators should at least have a basic understanding of which AI tools can be used in their fields, and teach students what is useful and what is not for their learning. \u201cIn general, we must get better at explaining to learners how learning works and in which ways they learn best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic wp-block-visual-link-preview-link advgb-dyn-f0200096\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/en\/selected\/chatgpt-study-academia-challenges\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"ChatGPT and academia: a new study for a controversial relationship\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">ChatGPT and academia: a new study for a controversial relationship<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">ChatGPT has the potential to create increasing and exciting opportunities \u2013 but also poses significant challenges \u2013 for the academic community, according to a study &hellip; <a href=\"\">Continued<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Lippert gives an example of two first-year university students who are tasked to write a 3000-word essay. \u201cStudent A must answer a generic research question, set by the lecturer, and is left alone with this task; coming straight from school, the student is likely to assume that the only important thing is the final product \u2013 3000 words that answer the question and sound ok.\u201d This student A, according to Lippert, is certainly more tempted to entirely outsource this task to a generative AI than student B, \u201cwho is allowed to develop their own, new research question, based on their own interests, and who has\u00a0been taught\u00a0that the actual learning process is not about the final product, but about what happens along the way \u2013 finding a question, reading sources, conducting research, structuring your argument. This is how you learn.\u201d Therefore, educators need to foster self-reflection in learners: \u201cLearners need to understand the \u2018whys\u2019 and \u2018hows\u2019 of learning in order to understand where AI supports their progress, and where it impedes it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AI and the future of education&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The integration of AI in education is still in a\u00a0relatively\u00a0early stage. However, its impact is growing. \u201cIt is now crucial to study AI\u2019s societal impact and ethical challenges\u201d, says Lippert, \u201cand independent academia must play a key role in the future developments in the field\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Educators of the future will need AI-related expertise to know what&#8217;s going on and what should and should not be used in their fields. They\u00a0must\u00a0actively discuss these do\u2019s and don\u2019ts with the learners, and better explain what learning actually is. \u201cIn this sense,\u201d Lippert concludes, \u201cAI might foster a new quality of educational self-reflexivity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic wp-block-visual-link-preview-link advgb-dyn-d3f1c8b1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/en\/ai-revolution-rethinking-exams-and-embracing-the-future-of-education\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"AI Revolution: Rethinking Exams and Embracing the Future of Education\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">AI Revolution: Rethinking Exams and Embracing the Future of Education<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">AI technology, such as Chat GPT, forces universities and teachers to rethink traditional examination methods.
