This open course is designed to facilitate the development of your Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy so that you can explore and innovate using Generative AI (GenAI) within your teaching, learning, and assessment practices.
In light of the potential opportunities and challenges of these technologies, this course will facilitate you in exploring the fundamentals of GenAI and AI Literacy, whilst focusing on an ethical practice. You will consider innovative ways in which you can respond to the challenges arising from the impact of these technologies in Higher Education.
Completion of this course will support you in developing a GenAI teaching strategy to apply to your own practice.
Recognizing the transformative potential of AI, the ICDE Quality Network has developed this report as a key initiative to explore its application in teaching and learning globally. This endeavour underscores the Network’s commitment to advancing quality education by promoting the responsible integration of AI.
The HEART project explored the impact of generative AI on 3rd-level education in Ireland, using modules delivered in the UCD School of Biology and Environmental Science (SBES) at University College Dublin. We wish to thank the Strategic Alignment of Teaching and Learning Enhancement (SATLE) fund for making this project possible.
