Co‑Creating Responsible GenAI Practices - Bites of Learning

Generative AI (GenAI) tools such as ChatGPT are rapidly transforming the learning landscape in higher education. While many students experiment liberally with these tools, many educators are still developing confidence to provide guidance on ethical and responsible GenAI use. Here we discuss a project to understand how co-creation, an approach where students collaborate with educators to design learning experiences, can support responsible, critical engagement with GenAI. We hope that this approach will ensure relevance and engagement in course content and help students learn with GenAI rather than just use it.

Co‑creation is a pedagogical development approach that involves students actively collaborating with educators to design their learning experiences, rather than being passive recipients of information. Thus, moving from teacher as expert to teacher as facilitator.  It invites participants into the design of content, re-distributes expertise, acknowledges uncertainty, and fosters democratic engagement with emerging technologies.
