Webinar: Showcasing AI in practice

-

During our webinar series on AI in education, we invite colleagues to share how they are creatively integrating AI into their teaching and learning practice.

In this session, we’re delighted to welcome Dr. Ingrid Samset, PhD, Assistant Professor at Leiden University, NL, and Dr. Matthew Voice, Assistant Professor at Warwick University, UK.

Ingrid works at Leiden University and will talk to us about a set of pedagogical AI assistants (e.g. Tutor, Architect, Mirror, Critic, Historical Persona) she has designed using their own in-house LLM, to support students in understanding course materials, structuring ideas and developing arguments in her Postcolonial World course. These assistants are integrated as 24/7 collaborative learning tools that enhance engagement, critical thinking and human–AI collaboration, while complementing (rather than replacing) traditional teaching and class participation.

Matthew works in applied linguistics at Warwick University in the UK and has been very active in experimenting with AI in education, first for formative assessment and now he is using AI to address possible decline in student preparation and a growing tendency to rely on AI-generated summaries of readings. He deliberately integrates AI into pre-tutorial work by asking students to generate and critically compare AI reading summaries with the original texts, helping them reflect on what may be gained or lost through AI use while strengthening critical thinking and engagement with the material.

Programme

  • Welcome
  • Pedagogical AI Assistants as Educational Tools? | Ingrid Samset

After each presentation, there is time for immediate questions and after both talks, we’ll open the floor for a broader discussion: a chance to exchange ideas, ask questions and get inspired by what others are trying in their teaching.  Please feel free to share your own ideas and experiences too!
