Artificial Intelligence for Teaching & Learning
The availability and uptake of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT is impacting on the ways in which staff and students in universities teach, learn and assess. There are both risks and opportunities for an educational future shaped by the availability of AI tools, and both staff and students need to be aware of these in the context of the field of study and teaching of their discipline. The technologies themselves are rapidly evolving but there is an emerging consensus that students and staff need to develop ways of ethically using these technologies, be aware of the constraints and limitations but also the potential for innovation and enhancement in teaching and learning.
In response to teaching staff questions and as a way of keeping abreast of developments and issues, UCT's Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching (CILT) have developed a series of guides for both staff and students.
