Abstract

In this workshop, Prof. Arnon Hershkovitz will present a set of practical design principles (DPs) for GenAI-enhanced pedagogy in higher education, across faculties. GenAI use is framed as a form of authentic learning, both of disciplinary content and of working with GenAI itself, such that the proposed DPs address learning with GenAI as well as learning about GenAI. The principles build on a well-established framework of authentic learning in e-learning, which characterizes authentic tasks through features such as real-world relevance, complexity, collaboration, reflection, and openness to multiple solutions. During the workshop, participants will be introduced to the origins of this framework, become familiar with the proposed DPs, and collaboratively explore how they can be applied and adapted within their own teaching contexts.
