Teaching and learning

Artificial intelligence applied to learning and university teaching

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at university opens up many opportunities but it must be placed within a framework of responsibility.Aspects such as ethics, data security and the ecological impact of technologies must be part of our perspective.

If you want to address, from a critical and determined perspective, the challenge of the presence and absence of Artificial Intelligence, taking into account ethical and legal considerations, we encourage you to use the PIO Education Model, which will help to foster and limit its use when appropriate, and thus improve the teaching and preparation of students for the challenges of responsibility and autonomy that these technologies present in everyday life. 

It is also worth noting that generative AI tools do not always offer reliable results, they do not have the nature of a legal entity and for this reason, they are not responsible for the responses given. They can invent quotes, oversimplify or reproduce biases. It is therefore essential to check the information and validate the results before incorporating them into our study or in teaching

It is important to specify the use we can make of AI in the subject, appealing to academic integrity and reminding students that the authors of a work are responsible for all its content, including its veracity. 

UdG Resources

The University of Girona (UdG) has produced several documents relating to the use of AI in teaching.Consulting them will help you understand the UdG’s position regarding the use of AI and offer you instructions on how to use it responsibly. 

Other useful documents:

The teaching staff at the UdG’s Faculty of Tourism have created a guide to explore how artificial intelligence can transform teaching.Entitled “From plaster to chip.The use of artificial intelligence in the classroom”, it offers guidance on incorporating language models, such as ChatGPT and Gemini, in teaching and learning processes.You can download it directly from the websiteDUGiDocs

The life of a subject

Each subject has its own life, which we can understand as a story with three main moments.First, design and preparation, where the outline is defined and the foundations of the story are laid.Then, classroom implementation, which corresponds to development, the “link” where everything takes shape and where the interaction with the student gives meaning to the script.Finally, the time comes for evaluation, the outcome that allows us to look back, adjust what is necessary, assess the path travelled and learn for future editions.

Shared experiences files

A significant portion of the UdG teaching staff has begun to use AI in their teaching.Below you will find some experiences offered to share with the rest of the UdG community.We encourage you to share your experiences using the form you will find on the homepage ofthis website.

Personal toolkit

Each teacher has different needs and interests when using artificial intelligence.There is no single valid path: what works for one person may not be useful for another.That’s why it’s worth making a personalised selection of tools and make your own toolkit that is practical and sustainable.We propose that you organise your tools, that you experiment and adapt to possible changes. 

Organise: That’s why it’s useful to store them in an accessible place (markers in the browser, a link aggregator, a digital portfolio, etc.) so you always have them at hand. 

Experiment: We recommend experimenting with different options to find out which tool best suits each task and dedicate time to deepening your understanding of how they work.This is the only way to make the most of their potential in everyday teaching. 

Adapt: It should be borne in mind that AI tools are changing and ephemeral: new platforms appear, while others disappear or change conditions.For that reason, rather than learning a specific tool, the key is to develop a flexible and adaptive perspective that allows you to incorporate new features without losing your educational bearings. 

To inspire this selection, there follows find an example table with different types of actions and some possible tools.Think, you can add, modify or remove any sections you wish to choose from to suit your needs.
