What will our PAAIR AI training involve? by Melissa Wong

Required AI fields in the CDS are:

Select AI statement
What are the AI approaches in the associated teaching activities for this assessment
Select one. If you are explicitly assessing AI use/skills of the student.
Select one/many. All assessments must have assurance of learning, even if genAI is not permitted. How will you achieve visibility of learning?

Want to make it compulsory to do MEA Foundations of AI module?

This is a 'Learn About AI' module that covers:

What is AI? Concepts, processes and histories
Engaging with AI responsibly, ethically and safely
Working effectively with AI prompts
Exploring generative AI tools
Critically evaluating AI outputs
Acknowledging AI use in academic work

Please don't use previous AI roles in order not to confuse educators. e.g. Learn About AI, Learn with/use AI, Secure Against.

Please use updated terminology!

For students, a proof of completion will be available in your Moodle profile and can be submitted as part of an assessment or via a Moodle forum, where required/requested by your educators.

Important reading. Maybe need to make this compulsory reading for the educators. Pre-workshop preparation.

Yes the AI Roles have changed. More expanded and clearer now. These would have to be changed for new PAAIR workshops.

Good idea for students to do the module, I feel. But would they have time to do the module. I am wondering if students can be asked to do the module before the semester begins?

I feel we need to begin with what is meant by Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced. This will have a bearing on how AI is used in the unit. For example, 1) for units that are deemed Foundational > the AI focus can be on ethical use processes. 2) Where as if the unit is Intermediate to Advanced > then the AI use can be more on implication, students designing a prompt for output etc. Just a thought and putting it out there.

Another point to consider is the assurance of learning / security point. The main consideration is scalability. - Bala

For the AI fields in the CDS, to me, I feel no. 2 and no. 4 would need more coverage and treatment, especially with issues of scale/large numbers.

I guess these are the new AI "roles" (we probably need to stop using the word roles because the CDS guidebook says approaches), yes? It may be helpful to clearly differentiate "Locating societal impact and ethical contexts" (real-world impact on society kind of issues) from "Evaluating AI outputs" (more to do with not trusting the AI output blindly). And then for "Designing AI", perhaps have to point out that it doesn't necessarily mean students designing their own large language model or something because it could even be solid prompt engineering or chain prompting or designing a bot within the AI.

Use the AI Integration Framework for the training (pages 101-120)

shannonng2 — 2025-07-17 01:45:29 UTC

I notice that in the MIB template, the AI roles are listed as "Unit AI Role", i.e., for the entire unit. AI Statements are PER assessment. But the new CDS seems to require us to list an AI approach for each assessment as well as an AI statement. This is different.
Under the 3rd tab, there is also the requirement to address "AI being addressed in CLO" (see screenshot, Explicit AI, Implicit AI, Not Applicable drop down menu). Does the workshop need to cover this aspect?

Sri Bala mgn Please include this as a Placeholder in the slide deck. Shannon's point No. 2.

I guess we have to help the CEs work through the detailed flowchart on AI statements in Teach HQ, yes?
