AI Hands-On #7: Orientation for students

AI tools such as ChatGPT & Co. not only change the way students learn, but also place new demands on their competences. At the last AI Hands-On #6 event, we looked at Study AI Literacy - i.e. the question of what knowledge and skills students need to use AI in a meaningful and reflective way in their studies.

Now we are going one step further: What could a practical orientation guide for students look like? What basic meta-skills do they need to reflect on and use AI in a meaningful way in their subject context? And how can teachers support them in this.

In this session, we would like to discuss how such an orientation guide for students can be designed together with actors from the study and teaching organisation from the faculties. The goal: A common basic understanding of what students need to know for a reflective use of AI at our university.

For inspiration, we will bring examples from other universities to show what solutions already exist there and what we can learn from them. As usual, there will be an opportunity for networking during a coffee break.

We look forward to your registration:

• Date: Thursday, 22 May 2025
• Time: 09:00 to 12:00
• Location: ESA W 221

Content focus:

• What is needed for a reflective introduction to working with AI?
• Discussion & agreement on the key content of an AI orientation guide for students
• How can teachers use the orientation guide in their courses?
• Coffee break & networking

AI Hands-On #7 is aimed at representatives of the faculties and all interested lecturers who would like to discuss a university-wide orientation guide for students.

AI Hands-On in general

Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and the like raise many questions, not only at the University of Hamburg - from the fundamental goals of higher education to new practical ways of organising your own teaching and specific aspects of examination law. Our event series and community of practice ‘AI Hands-On’ focuses on precisely these aspects.

On this page we will inform you in good time about upcoming dates. People from all faculties and institutions are welcome to attend KI Hands-On. The event benefits from interdisciplinary exchange. We welcome all new and returning participants!
