Over the past three years, interest in generative AI (GenAI) at the AIED conference has grown exponentially, reflecting the emergence of innovative approaches to enhance teaching and learning. LLMs in particular open new opportunities to address ongoing challenges in this space and advance higher education practices. While many of these interventions benefit education broadly, there remains a pressing need to examine their practical implications specifically within universities. Factors such as learner maturity, class sizes, subject areas, and instructor experience all play pivotal roles in shaping how GenAI can be most effectively deployed in this setting.

This half-day workshop therefore centers on the application of GenAI for supporting teaching and student learning in higher education. We aim to showcase how to develop and use GenAI interventions that empower instructors and students alike. Participants will learn strategies to successfully implement GenAI in their courses, engage in hands-on activities with relevant tools, and explore the broader opportunities that ongoing advancements in GenAI afford. We invite researchers, educators, and practitioners eager to expand and refine teaching and learning practices at the university level to join us. It will focus on exploring the opportunities and challenges of integrating GenAI in supporting teaching and learning in higher education teaching.
