Great discussion. Thinking about how we implement some great ideas. How do we train students to utilise these technologies in a critical way that aids rather than hinders learning. #LTHEchat

Thanks @nurun.bsky.social 🙏, the questions prompted a creative activity idea of using #GenAI. Plus crystallised the need to question the biases of these systems. Through that, education can be better. #LTHEChat

Agreed. For better learning, I think the model needs to be trained in pedagogy and the module content. Integration with the curriculum, or at least teaching practice is the key. That said, when used properly, even free models can provide needed learning support, esp in high enrolment classes.

Q6 - Which part of a module/unit/delivery approach would you deliberately design for friction (slow thinking for dialogue) instead of fluency (quick completion), and why? Reply with A6 #LTHEChat and your response @nurun.bsky.social

A5 #LTHEChat @nurun.bsky.social. I find that many UGs need to 1st understand learning isn't just about facts, but knowledge co-creation & where dialogic learning comes in in this process. Also prob how to discuss. Some may even need to be convinced that sharing will not hurt their grades.

Nurun Nahar @nurun.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

'Asking a good question goes a long way!' This has been my key takeaway message in an AI literacy workshop for students last week. It can set the course in motion for genuine learning through rich dialogue exchange in peer to peer learning or discussion between tutor and students.

Nurun Nahar @nurun.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

I have been applying that mindset too when using GenAI. I feel most of the models (I am referring to the ones available for free and not paid versions) are not yet that 'advanced' to be used as a learning partner but rather useful as a catalyst for learning.

110

Nurun Nahar @nurun.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

I do that myself and find it quite useful. Lately I have been experimenting with Comet as personal AI assistant. Still early days and I feel earlier models of ChatGPT and Claude performed much better before the updates were introduced.

Nurun Nahar @nurun.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

A4 #LTHEchat same here. Sometimes I find the process of crafting prompts and refining them iteratively for better responses in itself carries opportunities for dialogic learning with GenAI.

A3 Maybe the assessment should include a reflection on the dialogic learning process, how different iterations, the prompts and outputs improved and a critical evaluation of the final output (a discussion in class as a formative assessment should be used too) #LTHEChat

A3 #LTHEChat @nurun.bsky.social A clear understanding of why, when, and how GenAI are being used. Also need AI Fluency/Literacy/Competency--knowing the capabilities and limitations of the tool, and the ethical considerations in evaluating AI outputs.

Nurun Nahar @nurun.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

A3 #LTHEChat one strategy would be to being critical of retaining your 'inner voice' when using GenAI for dialogic learning. I find it useful when I begin a dialogue with GenAI with a question rather than a prompt.I found Socratic style use of GenAI chatbots effective to support dialogic learning.

A2 My concern is that we (as a species) don't get enough practice reasoning because our first recourse is to the AI And because they don't really think or create everything stagnates. #LTHEchat

Nurun Nahar @nurun.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

#LTHEChat A2 GenAI can be useful to structure a pedagogic approach/activity intentionally designed to promote dialogic learning. The cons could be it may have a narrow focus which could leave out the 'messy' processes which are sometime essential for learning through 'difficult' dialogues.

'Figuring' out is such an important process to undergo during dialogic learning. It's to recognise 'friction' and pause, reflecf to make sense of it and find logic in the processes that enables us to learn.

A1 Dialogic learning is where you provide learning oppprtunities where learners and tutors engageand interact in dialogue. This allows for questions and feedback. #LTHEchat

Nurun Nahar @nurun.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

@lthechat.bsky.social A1 Dialogic learning for me is co-constructing knowledge through critical exploration fostering the agency needed to question, judge and learn in the process.
