Design for Learning: Generative AI for Collaborative Learning

Catalog description

Would you like to design ways to use generative AI to help humans learn with other humans? In this course, you will develop creative ways to use generative AI to support collaborative learning, also learning more about AI as researchers continue to improve tools like ChatGPT. In creating new learning activities that could be used at Stanford or in other courses, you will build experience with fundamentals of design, including the design abilities of learning from others, navigating ambiguity, synthesizing information, and experimenting rapidly. You will do this by tackling real design challenges presented by our project partners, which include several Stanford programs, while drawing on your own first-hand experience as students. This class is open to all students, undergraduate and graduate, of any discipline. No previous design experience or experience with AI is required. Just a collaborative spirit and hard work.
