Though Generative AI (GenAI) has the potential to transform learning and teaching, educators have raised ethical concerns, particularly related to the adverse effect on student learning if students simply parrot GenAI-generated content without engaging in critical analysis or original thought.
This micro course will discuss three major concerns in generative AI use in education, share questions and approaches to address these ethical considerations by adopting five principles of AI ethics, and explore the development of a classroom AI use policy as one governance mechanism for promoting ethical use of AI.
The course will include opportunities for educators to collaboratively define the terms of engagement with GenAI in educational settings and to begin this discourse by sharing insights and experiences with promoting the ethical use of GenAI.
