Welcome to the AI Activities Hub for Educators! Here you will find a blend of various assignment styles and diverse formats to challenge and expand students' perspectives and creativity with biology course material. Use these assignments as a starting point for your own classroom whether teaching in-person or online.
Student Introduction to AI
Students complete a low stakes quiz while watching a video on YouTube: Demystifying ChatGPT for Academics.
The advantages of participant responses are dual: 1) They offer an up-to-date overview of students' comprehension and perspectives about AI, and 2) they reinforce the distinction between what AI actually is and what it is not. Can be used as a stand alone assignment, or Week 1 homework assignment.
Students Creating and Analyzing AI-Generated Images
Students use AI to generate images as a springboard to think about physiological topics critically and creatively
Exam Question Examples
The Educator creates AI Images based on biology course topics and asks questions based on AI generated images. These images are unique, with students having never seen them before the exam.
Question Examples for Long Written Responses (Perfect for Projects or Take Home Exams)
The Educator creates AI content based on topics and asks students to analyze and respond to questions based on the AI content provided
