A Systematic Review of Generative AI for Teaching and Learning Practice
Project Overview
The document examines the emerging role of generative AI (GenAI) in higher education, outlining its promising applications such as personalized learning experiences, tutoring, and enhanced assessment support. It underscores the significant benefits that GenAI can offer in tailoring educational content to individual student needs and improving engagement. However, the report also addresses critical challenges related to the ethical implications of AI use, including issues of bias, academic integrity, and the potential for misuse. To navigate these complexities, the document calls for further research and the development of comprehensive guidelines that promote the responsible integration of GenAI in educational settings. It advocates for interdisciplinary collaboration among educators, technologists, and policymakers to ensure that GenAI's implementation maximizes its advantages while mitigating risks, ultimately enhancing the learning experience for students.
