AI in education
Our view on AI in education
In this rapidly changing tech world, we encourage our students to think critically and help lecturers to be both mentors and learners. Together, we are building an educational culture in which we embrace technological innovations and continue to critically reflect on the impact and possibilities of AI.
Approach
We train our teachers
AI proficiency starts with the teacher. That is why we train teachers in-house across three levels: Fundamental, Advanced, and Expert.
This ensures that every teacher can use AI responsibly and effectively when guiding students.
Clear guidelines for students
Every learning objective includes an AI level that indicates how AI may be used for that particular learning activity.
These agreements are described in the BUas AI study guide. This document shows the extent to which students are allowed to use AI for a learning activity.
Ahead in AI at BUas
At BUas, we ensure that every lecturer and student develops the right AI skills by:
- including an AI level with every learning objective, indicating how AI may be used in the learning activity concerned.
- training lecturers through in-house AI courses (Fundamental – Advanced – Expert).
- offering students an online AI course via our digital learning environment, Brightspace.
- organising weekly AI Sparks sessions, in which we spend half an hour discussing specific AI tools, AI learning methods and AI topics.
- facilitating AI experiments in which staff and students can test their own AI ideas.
AI is, of course, a theme in the curriculum of all our programmes. Students can also choose the bachelor’s degree programme in Applied Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.
