Lectures and seminars Bites of Learning: Co‑Creating Responsible GenAI Practices

Learning with GenAI through Co-creation

Generative AI (GenAI) tools such as ChatGPT are rapidly transforming the learning landscape in higher education. While many students are experimenting extensively with these tools, educators are still developing confidence in how to guide students towards ethical, responsible and effective use.

In this session, we present a pedagogical development project funded through KI's Pedagogical Project Funding initiative. The project explores how co-creation can support responsible and critical engagement with GenAI in education. Co-creation is an approach where students actively collaborate with educators in designing learning experiences, moving beyond the traditional model of students as passive recipients of knowledge.

By involving students in the design of learning activities and discussions about AI use, co-creation redistributes expertise, acknowledges uncertainty and encourages democratic engagement with emerging technologies. The approach aims to ensure that teaching remains relevant and engaging while helping students develop the skills needed to learn with GenAI rather than simply use it.

During the session, we will share experiences from the project and invite participants to discuss how co-creation and student-centred learning can be used to engage learners in conversations about GenAI.

Why attend?

This session is relevant for educators and students who are interested in the opportunities and challenges that GenAI presents in higher education. Join us if you:

• Wonder how GenAI is affecting student learning.
• Are looking for ways to engage students in discussions about responsible AI use.
• Want inspiration for creating more student-centred learning experiences.
• Are curious about co-creation as an educational approach.
