The Working Group on AI in Teaching started its activities in February 2023. The group is an advisory board of the Masaryk University management under the responsibility of Vice-Rector for Education and Quality Michal Bulant. It deals with the issues of using artificial intelligence (AI) tools in education and teaching at MU. Members of the group are nominated by individual faculties and other departments of the university. They meet approximately once a month and also communicate via online platforms. They are experts in IT, law, library science and other fields. The activities of the working group include but are not limited to:
- Formulate a general MU position on the use of AI in education. Based on the group's recommendations, the MU management adopted the document Position Statement on the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Teaching at Masaryk University, the main objective of which is to provide a framework for the use of AI technologies in teaching and education;
- to set out the rules for when and how the use of AI can be considered permissible. In this area, the group has proposed a document Recommendations for the use of AI in learning. The recommendations cover, among other things, referencing the use of AI tools;
- Define options and ways of methodological support for teachers and learners;
- define options and ways of educating learners.
The members of the group participate in educational activities in the field of the use of AI in teaching, including workshops and trainings organised by CERPEK - Centre for Competence Development.
