Workshop about developing educative scenarios with GenAI tools

Abstract

The document outlines a workshop designed for Master’s students in ICT applied to education at the University of Salamanca. Led by Francisco José García-Peñalvo, the workshop aims to explore the application of generative AI (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT in education. The objectives include learning to integrate GenAI in teaching, reflecting on its potential and risks, and designing educational scenarios collaboratively.

The eight-hour session is part of a course on "Design and Assessment of Digital Resources." Students, mostly with educational backgrounds, engage in a structured process involving an introduction, AI-focused discussions, and hands-on sessions with ChatGPT. Teams of three work to develop and present educational scenarios using GenAI. Examples of tasks include creating stories for primary school, designing gamified learning activities, or developing subject-specific assessments.

The emphasis is on the process over the final product. Teams document prompts and workflows and present findings to facilitate peer discussion on lessons learned, focusing on benefits and challenges.

Key takeaways stress the importance of an initial introduction to GenAI, collaborative work, and reflection. The workshop highlights the transformative potential of GenAI in education while advocating for critical engagement with its ethical and practical implications.
