Teaching, AI, and Me
Discussion Forum of the AI Literacy Working Group
We cordially invite you to our third open discussion forum, which offers educators, instructors, and interested colleagues—regardless of their level of experience, from beginners to experts—a space for exchange, reflection, and networking. Together, we would like to explore how AI is changing our teaching and educational practices, what skills we need, and how we can ensure its meaningful and responsible use. We look forward to an inspiring exchange and a variety of perspectives! We also invite all participants to submit questions and practical examples during registration to serve as input for the discussion round. Furthermore, the thematic focus of the roundtable will be guided by the practical experiences of the discussion participants.
AI and Exams: What Types of Exams and What Subjects?
We will discuss the HU guidelines on the use of AI in teaching and their implications for exam formats, assessment, and grading procedures. In particular, we would like to focus on the subjects and formats of exams in the humanities, cultural studies, and social sciences.
The subjects and methods in these disciplines range, for example, from hermeneutic analysis of cultural artifacts such as texts and images, statistical analysis of surveys, measurements, and corpus data, to experiments on reaction times, pronunciation, or perceptions. Just as diverse are the assessment methods used—in addition to traditional term papers, oral exams, and written exams, newer formats such as poster presentations, take-home exams, and code books are also employed. The following questions provide an initial framework for our discussion forum “Teaching, AI, and Me”:
- How do the scope of action and areas of responsibility regarding the use of AI in assessment formats differ or take on new forms for both faculty and students in light of the AI guidelines for teaching?
- How can faculty and students ideally coordinate the use of AI in assessments together?
- What approaches and experiences have already proven effective in dealing with AI in exams in the humanities, cultural studies, and social sciences?
- Which exam formats are better suited for effectively assessing competencies in a way that is transparent to students?
Other key topics include: adapting traditional assessment methods (e.g., suitability, validity of learning outcomes) as well as transparency in the use of AI in assessment formats (e.g., referencing and intended uses), and the pedagogical development of assessments (e.g., including competency models).
