GENERATIVE AI FOR HIGHER EDUCATION: PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
TO SUPPORT FACULTY IN CREATING
AN ENGAGING LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

ABSTRACT

Following the advent of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in late 2022, a significant shift occurred in the academic realm, leading to both challenges and opportunities. This research delves into the patterns of university students using GenAI tools for academic tasks in higher education. Through a collection of real-world use cases, the study offers insights into the growing influence of GenAI in educational settings and its broader implications. Central to this examination is the potential misuse of GenAI for academic gains, contrasted with its beneficial role in enhancing genuine learning experiences. In response to these identified trends, the discussion introduces an overview for designing a framework that enables faculties to seamlessly integrate GenAI into their courses. This proposed structure seeks to uphold academic integrity, foster the productive use of GenAI resources, and capitalize on GenAI's capabilities to augment the educational journey. By adopting this approach, faculty and educational institutions can navigate the challenges presented by GenAI.
