AI and the Humanities
Across UD, professors are adapting their teaching in uncharted, unexpected ways, working to explore how generative AI can strengthen instruction, enhance education and boost learning.
How? By beginning with the end in mind.
-
Prompt: Help English-as-an-additional-language users build confidence and find their voice.
Assistant Professor Jua Hwang believes AI can help developing writers find their agency.
“If you’re using it (generative AI) constantly, you can over rely on it [and] lose a sense of critical thinking and your own original thoughts, especially when it comes to humanities subjects where you have to express your own opinions.”
-
Prompt: Help art students strengthen their research capabilities while assessing the ethical implications of AI.
Students in Visiting Assistant Professor Alison Terndrup’s classes discuss the ethics of AI while learning its capabilities.
“Students, especially studio art students, understandably, have reservations when it comes to the use of tools trained on other artists' work.”
-
Prompt: Help explain complex terms in centuries-old texts.
Professor Persephone Braham is exploring how to use AI as a tool to engage language learners.
“Students are visual learners, so this helps them see how others might be imagining a certain scene. It’s the traditional class, but in a different way.”
-
Prompt: Educate students on responsible tech use and prepare them for the jobs of the future.
Associate Professor of Spanish Meghan McInnis-Domínguez discovered that guiding students through appropriate use of AI helped reduce cheating.
“I thought that if I incorporated large language models and showed students how to use them responsibly, it might actually help curb plagiarism rather than promoting it, and that was the case.”
