In the age of digital transformation, teachers are faced with the constant challenge of finding innovative and effective teaching methods to enrich the learning process of their students. A workshop on the integration of ChatGPT into teaching/learning processes is therefore of great importance. It offers the opportunity to tackle one of the most exciting challenges: How can we use AI text generation technologies such as ChatGPT to make teaching more interactive, creative and accessible?

In this workshop, you will first get a brief overview of the basics of ChatGPT and develop an understanding of how this AI text generation technology is built. You will then be shown current interdisciplinary applications of ChatGPT in teaching and learning processes, including specific examples. You will then use this knowledge to carry out practical exercises to integrate ChatGPT into the classroom.

Note: For optimal participation in this workshop, we recommend that you create an account with OpenAI in advance.

Marketplace with hands-on activities, poster presentation and much more.

Employees of the ^OLE+ and DiOLL projects

Oldenburg Teaching-Learning Rooms (OLELA) on the ground floor in A03

As students and lecturers, you are invited to learn about the findings and products of the ^OLE+ and DiOLL projects at the marketplace. You can also familiarise yourself with the new premises of OLELA (Oldenburg Teaching-Learning Spaces). You can find out how OLELA combines theory and practice in teacher training in a special way and how practice-orientated learning opportunities are created for students and pupils during hands-on activities. Digital self-learning modules for teachers can be tried out; films, OER materials and presentations point to future trends in teacher training.

As part of the event, the new teacher training information portal will be presented, a digital information guidance system that makes all processes and information relevant to teacher training available in a target group-orientated manner and on which the school teaching-learning platform, an open format for the sustainable and long-term provision of OER materials, will also be located.

A poster exhibition with details of projects, campaigns and events completes the programme.

Research into digital learning and teaching is and has already been carried out in many areas of our university; projects and measures are and have been implemented that focus on digital learning and teaching. These activities will be presented by lecturers and project staff from all School departments as part of the poster presentation. In addition, the University Didactics Department will present programmes and internal evaluation results on digital learning and teaching at the University of Oldenburg. The aim is to create transparency about the activities and to promote networking and exchange between School, students, lecturers and staff as well as other stakeholders. In order to make the contents of the posters available in the long term, they will be documented on a website on the digitalisation of studying and teaching.

All posters can be found on the website "Projects, measures and evaluation results on digital teaching"

The digitalisation of teaching enables new teaching-learning formats and globally networked collaboration, but it also raises new problem areas in copyright law. With free educational materials or Open Educational Resources (OER), an exchange between teachers and across the boundaries of educational institutions is possible in a legally secure manner. Originators always decide for themselves which rights of use they want to grant to others. The expressly permitted modification, mixing and recompilation of OER opens up didactic possibilities for contemporary education.

In this workshop, basic knowledge of German copyright law and free licences (Creative Commons) will be taught, the search for suitable OER materials in portals and search engines will be practised, the creation of one's own OER will be instructed and possibilities for disseminating one's own OER will be demonstrated. There will also be an opportunity to discuss questions about OER.

Bring Your Own Device: If you would like to take part in the workshop, please bring your own device.

AI is already being used in many areas and is also a relevant and topical subject in study and teaching. At the same time, library science is also dealing with the topic. From ChatGPT to robotics - in order to offer the best possible service, libraries are investigating the added value in various areas of application. The question arises: How can our university library use AI profitably to support studying and teaching?

After a brief introduction to the use of AI in libraries with practical examples, we cordially invite you to an open discussion about your ideas and future visions for the use of AI in the library. An overview of our support services for teaching and studying will serve as a starting point for considerations on possible user-friendly optimisation approaches for existing services and useful new AI services.

Artificial intelligence has the potential to fundamentally change society and automate cognitive tasks. The increasing availability of so-called large language models, for example GPT-3/4, brings this goal within reach. The social consequences of both misuse and intended use would be serious.

The public debate is caught between the aspirations and reality of this software. From fear of mass unemployment to the domination of machines, the discourse ranges from extremes that hardly do justice to the actual capabilities of LLMs.

So what is behind it all? What can LLMs do and is this really about intelligence? What are the realistic consequences? And why do we think this technology is so overpowering?

After a brief introduction to embedding models, we will focus on the question of how people perceive and use this technology. What are society's responses to the real threats it poses?

Digital technologies are omnipresent. They shape and mould the world we live in, the way we work in our studies, research and teaching and are an integral part of everyday school life and teaching. The rapid (technological) developments present educational institutions such as schools and universities with new challenges and at the same time open up opportunities for new methods, communication channels, learning and teaching formats. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) such as Midjourney, ChatGPT and the like have made this topic even more explosive in the past year.

So are we following the hype? How do we want to prioritise these and other technologies in (higher) education? How can we organise contemporary learning at school and university with (and without) digital technologies? What skills do pupils, students and teachers need? And what do schools and universities need as institutions to be able to respond better to rapid developments?

These and other questions were addressed during the panel discussion and discussed with the invited panellists. On stage were:

• Isabel Larisch: Master of Education student in History and Philosophy/Values and Norms for Teacher Education
• Dr Julia Webersik: Head of the Teaching Service at Leuphana University Lüneburg and project manager in SOUVER@N
• Sarah Schellmann: Deputy headmistress of the Waldschule Hatten
• Prof. Dr Ira Diethelm: School II, Department of Computing Science and Director of the Centre for Teacher Education - Didactic Centre (DiZ)
• Moderation: Dr Julia Michaelis: Managing Director of the Centre for Teacher Education - Didactic Centre (DiZ)

Participation in the panel discussion was open to interested members of the public.
