On 15 January 2025, the sixth edition of our ‘AI Hands-On’ took place, focusing on the topic of ‘Study-gen AI Literacy’. The event began with a warm-up where participants had the opportunity to discuss common misconceptions about generative AI. This focussed in particular on what students absolutely need to know about gAI.
Mareike Bartels and Nadia Blüthmann provided valuable insights with their input on the concept of study-gen AI literacy. Based on the experiences from the ongoing gAI workshops for students and the results of the ‘ChatGPT and Me 2.0’ survey as well as a theoretical analysis of the concept, study-gen AI Literacy was categorised into the three areas of control, competence and social skills. In each of these three areas, students are confronted with different opportunities and challenges.
Following the conceptual discussion of study-gen AI, selected programmes for students and lecturers on the topic of gAI that already exist at the University of Hamburg were presented. Mareike Bartels presented the gAI workshops for students on behalf of the DDLitLab. Fridrun Freise also reported on the Writing Centre's ‘Writing with UHHGPT’ workshops and David Ziegenhagen on the HUL self-learning materials. Finally, Gunda Mohr from the HUL presented the ‘Insight AI’ game she developed. The game is intended to promote a critical examination of gAI in a playful and low-threshold way.
In the final practical part, the participants had the opportunity to discuss five prepared topics at practical tables. These included, for example, the aforementioned ‘Insight AI’, the HUL learning path for planning courses in relation to gAI and the integration of gAI content into one's own teaching.
The DDLitLab would like to thank the participants for the productive event and the lively participation.
