Course specific information and AI

About the webinar

KTH’s recommendation is that every course syllabus and Canvas room clearly state if – and how – generative AI tools may be used in the course. The webinar opened with Nina Wormbs from the Faculty Council, who provided background to the decision and explained why the issue of AI use in education needs to be addressed locally in each course.

This was followed by a review of the four levels of AI use developed by KTH:

1. No use of generative AI tools allowed

2. Generative AI tools only allowed in specific assignments

3. Generative AI tools allowed according to given guidelines

4. Free use of generative AI tools

Caroline Bern then gave examples of how different courses can formulate their course-specific information based on subject, learning outcomes, and chosen level. The webinar concluded with a Q&A session.

Among the topics discussed

• Guide for how to make decisions for your course

• How to use the templates

• What it looks like in Canvas

• Examples on the intranet

• How to talk to your students about what the information means

Tip! Write a short description in the course syllabus and refer to more details in Canvas.
