* In the event of overbooking, lecturers from Thuringian universities are prioritized

What prior knowledge is required?

Previous knowledge is not required.

Our AI training in brief

What content is taught in AI training?

On 24.03.2025

What is it about?

In this event, we will introduce you to the topic of AI and a selection of different AI tools based on our "Prompting Station" project.
You will learn to familiarize yourself with these tools and try out possible application scenarios. Here is a brief insight into what we will be working with: Leonardo AI, Keenious, Perplexity AI and others.

It is also important to us that we continue AI training as practical as possible We would be happy to discuss questions and ideas from specific areas of work with you, with the opportunity to share these with each other. You are welcome to bring along specific questions or didactic scenarios that are of interest to you in your day-to-day teaching.

What is it about?

In this part of the AI training course, university lecturers are introduced to the possibilities of artificial intelligence (AI) in the design of formative examination formats.

The focus here is on the use of AI for Improvement of tasks, for the coordination of learning objectives and examination tasks and for their grading. Participants will be enabled to critically analyze and creatively develop their own examination formats or to design completely new examination formats. The course consists of a combination of lecture, exchange of experiences and a practical exercise.

Learning objectives

At the end of the event, participants will be able to...

  • optimize exam tasks and solutions: Participants can analyze existing exam tasks with the help of AI and optimize them in terms of quality and accuracy of fit.
  • Adapt examination tasks to the learning objectives: Participants are able to align learning objectives and exam tasks using AI and ensure that the exams actually cover the intended learning objectives.
  • classify examination tasks: Participants can categorize examination tasks into a suitable taxonomy and thus specifically control the cognitive challenge of the tasks.
