Teaching and Learning
In this section we start to explore the transformative power of AI in education through a range of dedicated teaching and learning resources.
We discover how some Queen’s staff are using AI with students in class, and we showcase a range of AI how-to videos for staff and students created by Dr. Dan Corbett, School of Pharmacy. More case studies and support videos will be added in due course.
Also, very importantly we share some key resources created with our student voice. Firstly, we share a number of Queen’s students talking about their initial experiences of using AI in education. We then capture two students who provide their perspectives on AI with Professor Phil Hanna, Dean of Education (EPS) hosting the session.
AI 'How-to' Videos for Staff and Students
If you are a staff or student who is looking for some inspiration why not check out the series of AI ‘how-to’ videos created by Dr. Dan Corbett, School of Pharmacy. They include a mix of content supporting staff and students in their use of AI in different aspects of teaching and learning at Queen’s. You can watch the videos below.
How are Queen's staff using AI in courses?
In Queen’s Business School’s ACC3043 module, ‘Contemporary Technologies and Accounting,’ Dr. Danielle McConville has integrated AI exploration into the accounting curriculum. The course covers fundamental concepts, cybersecurity, and project management in the context of technological change, followed by an in-depth examination of AI. Teaching includes a guest lecture on prompt engineering, discussions on AI definitions, use cases, and ethical considerations.
Watch the video to learn how the module successfully captivates students with AI in accounting.
What are Queen's students saying about AI?
A range of Queen’s students recently shared their views on AI’s pivotal role in education, emphasising the usefulness of tools like ChatGPT, as well as various photo and video generation apps. They highlight AI’s benefits in literature review, idea generation, and study support, acknowledging its relevance in today’s world.
Watch the video to discover a range of perspectives on how AI is transforming education.
Listen to Student Podcasts on AI
We also talked more in-depth to two Queen’s students. In the two podcast episodes Professor Phil Hanna (Dean of Education) talks to Faith Wallace (School of Psychology) and Yakunat Sankey (Ulster Business School). In their discussions they offer their perspectives on using AI as a student and discuss how AI may impact in their future careers. You can have a listen to the podcasts below.
