  • TechTeachTalk “Discussion on the new AI guidance document”

Fri 17 April 2026, 1.30 pm – 3.00 pm, with Rebecca Rimac (ABV Ultra project)

How do I deal with suspected unauthorised use of AI? How do I design assessment formats that remain meaningful even in the age of AI? And to what extent do I actually want to allow the use of generative AI in my seminar?

The new guide “Teaching, Learning and Researching with Generative AI” addresses these and other questions. It is designed in particular to help lecturers develop their own approach and adopt a self-determined way of dealing with generative AI within their courses and in examinations.

As the document is intended to be a living resource to be developed collaboratively, I would like to engage with you at an early stage: what is helpful, what is missing, and where might your views differ fundamentally?

Anyone who has at least skimmed through the guide beforehand will be able to contribute their own experiences in a targeted way and gain a great deal from the discussion.

 

  • TechTeachTalk “Where are the sticking points? Making challenges in maths teaching visible with learning analytics”

Friday, 22 May, 1.00–2.30 pm, with Dr Mandy Lange-Geisler, Dr Kristina Helle, Tommy Bergmann and Lukas Reuschel (ABV/ABV Ultra project)


Using various data, including information on students’ initial maths proficiency, the aim is to identify correlations between subject-specific deficits at the start of their degree and subsequent exam success. On this basis, the aim is to provide students with personalised feedback right at the start of the semester in future, in order to offer targeted support for the learning process and reduce the failure rate.

 

  • TechTeachTalk “Between text generator and source of comfort – How first-year students in Social Work use AI”

Fri, 12 June 2026, 1.00 pm – 2.30 pm, with Prof. Dr Sebastian Noll and Mirjam Werner

86.5 per cent of undergraduate students rely on AI during the writing process. The latest survey from the “Academic Writing Workshop” at the Faculty of Social Sciences reveals fascinating patterns – ranging from creating an outline to receiving “emotional support”. Prof. Dr Sebastian Noll and Mirjam Werner, M.Sc., will present the data and discuss with you how we might teach a critical and reflective approach to AI use in our seminars at the HSMW in future.
