In February, the Teaching and Learning Centre of the Faculty of Science (TLC-Science) launched a project integrating generative AI, specifically ChatGPT, into the teaching process. The project will run for a year and marks a major step forward in using the potential of artificial intelligence to enhance and personalise learning.

Targeting a select number of courses within the Faculty of Science, the project aims for close collaboration between teaching teams, AI experts from the faculty, and educational expertise from the TLC-Science. The aim is to effectively deploy ChatGPT in teaching, enhancing student learning and enriching the educational experience. The project encourages an open dialogue between teachers and students on the use of AI in teaching.

The first course to start a pilot in this project is the Bachelor of Psychobiology, in which students in the course ‘Review’ are given the opportunity to use ChatGPT as a writing coach. Students are encouraged to use the AI to improve their writing skills and develop their critical thinking skills.

One of the unique aspects of this project is that students and teachers of the participating courses will have access to ChatGPT via Microsoft Azure. This approach not only ensures user security and privacy by using a shielded cloud environment, but also ensures seamless integration of this cutting-edge technology into teaching practices. This strategic choice adequately addresses data and privacy concerns, which is essential for applying these tools in a university setting.

Especially within the Faculty of Science, there is a lot of knowledge about these tools and their application possibilities. By integrating this knowledge within this project, the faculty is working on educational innovation, exploring the possibilities of artificial intelligence to shape the education of the future.
