Main takeaways

Generative AI can be leveraged to move students down the learning curve through personalized and experiential learning. By tailoring the AI’s role to specific contexts, students can gain deeper insights through practical applications.

It is faculty expertise that ensures the effective use of generative AI in education. Instructors must guide AI applications by embedding their domain knowledge and pedagogical insights into how AI is used for assessments and learning activities. This allows faculty to shape AI tools in ways that support deeper, more meaningful student learning.

Generative AI Enhances Critical Thinking: Rather than focusing solely on outputs, generative AI can facilitate the assessment of a student's cognitive process. By analyzing how students interact with AI (e.g., through the questions they ask), educators can evaluate their critical thinking and reasoning more deeply than through traditional assessments alone.

ExamindAI and Experiential Learning: The workshop showcased a negotiation exercise using ExamindAI, which allows students to practice real-world skills like negotiation in a simulated environment. By engaging with AI-driven role plays, students receive instant feedback and are able to refine their strategies, while faculty can monitor both the process and outcomes. This tool enhances experiential learning by offering personalized, iterative practice and reinforcing key concepts through reflection.
