Interfaculty study afternoon on generative AI in legal education 1 May 2025 13:00 - 17:00

Share
Since November 2022, with the launch of ChatGPT, the influence of generative AI on (higher) education has been booming. Just under a year ago, on June 6, 2024, the LAW Platform (Edusource) organized a first study afternoon on the issue. This afternoon was mainly devoted to an exploration of what generative AI is and its significance for education.

The LAW-platform van Edusources and the journal Law & Method organize on Thursday afternoon organise a second study afternoon with a focus on GenAI in teaching and assessment. In doing so, we want to go beyond a mere first exploration as many colleagues have been experimenting a lot with GenAI in education and assessment. In addition, law departments have been drafting guidelines about the use of generative AI. These experiments and guidelines lead to fundamental discussions about its use. The idea of the study afternoon is to discuss the following issues: 

1. Fundamental: how do we have to relate to GenAI in teaching and learning?
2. Didactic: what teaching and learning activities have (un) successfully uses genAI? How valid are assessment activities in this regard?
3. Practical: what is the use of guidelines: which guidelines exist and what do they do?

The meeting will take place in Utrecht and will be held in “receptive multilingualism” (luistertaal).

Do you have teaching materials on active learning that could be useful to others as well? Share them with Machteld Geuskens via m.c.m.geuskens@vu.nl so they can be made available through the Edusources website!
