Webinar series

In addition to the programme above – or simply for inspiration – you can access a series of webinars, which you can attend live or watch afterwards:

The themed webinars cover topics such as:

• Prompting techniques
• Custom chatbots
• AI-assisted feedback
• Real-world teaching cases across disciplines

Introductory webinar

Did you miss the Teach GenAI introductory webinar presenting this autumn's opportunities for teaching staff at AAU, AU and SDU? You can watch it here.

AI course for students

We recommend encouraging students to take the Learn GenAI course, which is also available on the Teach GenAI website.

In every itslearning course room for programmes at the Faculty of Health Sciences, you will find a link to the course via this page.

You are very welcome to recommend the course to your students or incorporate it into your teaching.

Generative AI at SDU

• Rules for the use of generative artificial intelligence at SDU
• The University Library's AI guide for students

For teaching staff – SDUnet:

• Professional development – digital skills and AI
• Generative AI in teaching and examinations – read the rules as they are presented to students

Review of the practice-based programme by Assistant Professor Lanfranco Pellesi from IST:

Small steps, big impact: my experience with Teach GenAI

I have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the Teach GenAI course, an initiative that has given me the opportunity to challenge myself and begin incorporating generative artificial intelligence (AI) into my teaching. Generative AI is still new to many of us, and it is perfectly natural to feel a little hesitant or nervous about taking the first step. One of the strengths of the course was therefore its encouragement to carry out a small, practical experiment in our own teaching – a tangible way to get started. And it is these small steps that can lead to bigger changes.

The course included engaging webinars, but I found the local meetings with colleagues from SDU particularly valuable. They gave us the opportunity to share experiences, exchange ideas and gain inspiration across academic disciplines. The project was conducted as a pilot study, demonstrating for the first time how artificial intelligence can be used critically and pedagogically in evidence-based medicine. This year, we plan to repeat the project with some improvements.

I would warmly recommend Teach GenAI to all teaching staff who are curious about the possibilities, even those who remain a little sceptical. The course helps you understand the technology and translate it into practical teaching activities, at your own pace.
