It has been less than 3 years since ChatGPT emerged and made a significant impact on society. Today, there are numerous generative AI services using large language models. According to a survey by the National Federation of University Co-operative Associations, 68.2% of university students have experience using generative AI, primarily for classes, research, and writing papers/reports. Additionally, an NTT DOCOMO survey shows that the adoption rate of generative AI among middle school students is 13.3%, surpassing that of their parents at 9.0%.
What is the extent of its use in university classes? There are likely students and faculty who don't use it. For non-users, they may feel "there's no problem not using it for now." However, if there emerges a gap in learning outcomes between AI users and non-users, this cannot be ignored.
Not all students use generative AI simply to complete assignments with less effort. Some utilize it to deepen their learning and as a learning support tool. How can generative AI be utilized in the classroom setting? Whether you choose to use it or not, you cannot make an informed decision without understanding its potential.
The time has passed when we could teach classes without considering the use of generative AI. Therefore, we are organizing this webinar series to provide an opportunity for faculty and students who are actively using generative AI in their classes to share their experiences, allowing participants to reflect on their own teaching practices.
Each session will feature two speakers. After 20-minute presentations by each speaker, there will be a 20-minute discussion including Q&A.
Dr. Hyunjung Park(Specially Appointed Lecturer, CoSTEP, IAGE, Hokkaido University)
Students will first experience the workflow of image generation using AI by inputting prompts and creating visual content. Following this hands-on session, I will provide an opportunity for them to reflect on the ethical issues surrounding the AI technologies they have explored. By collectively questioning topics such as bias generated by AI and the rights of creators, we aim to shed light on the challenges we need to pause and consider in the present as we move toward the future.
Dr. Kenichi Yamamoto (Associate Professor, IAGE, Hokkaido University)
In my large-scale lecture courses, I encourage students to utilize generative AI. Specifically, I recommend that they use generative AI to summarize English academic papers (provided as reading materials) into Japanese before reading them. I also suggest that they upload class resumes to NotebookLM and use it to create comprehension quizzes, among other applications.
However, I’m honestly still uncertain about how to incorporate generative AI into the final paper. I’ve developed a GPT specifically for providing feedback, but I haven’t yet decided whether to release it for student use. This is something I would like to discuss with all of you.
At the end of the course, I conducted a survey to see how many students actually used generative AI. I’ll also share those results.
Recommended for those who:
・Want to learn from practical examples of how generative AI is being used in teaching and other learning contexts
・Want to understand the benefits and challenges of using generative AI in teaching and other learning contexts
・Want to explore the potential of generative AI in teaching and other learning contexts
※This seminar is also scheduled to be held in July.
