The ‘Day of Teaching’ takes place annually at the University of Bremen with various events. This year’s central event was dedicated to an exchange on the topic of “Artificial intelligence in teaching – current experiences and developments”.

The keynote speech was given by Prof Dr Hendrik Drachsler (Academic Director of ‘studium digitale’ University of Frankfurt, Professor of Educational Technologies DIPF), who primarily reported on experiences with the use of AI in teaching in the context of various research projects. As part of this, tools were developed for role-based collaborative development and reflection of learning designs in real-time. Furthermore, the application of learning analytics for formative feedback of explanatory videos was used. In addition, interdisciplinary collaboration and the transfer into practice, as well as the generation of authentic data as output, are of great interest here.

The keynote speech was followed by two workshop formats. One workshop was dedicated to the question: How can AI be used to make teaching more challenging and student-centred? In this respect, the workshop was structured on the basis of impulses from the study programs at the University of Bremen. A second workshop dealt with various AI tools, with trial and error at the centre of the event. These events were attended by members of the Erasmus+ project teams of AI Pioneers and AI4ED.
