Re-imagining Education Through AI: Students Insights from DigiEduHack
摘要
This exploratory study examines the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing digital education through the lens of the 2023 DigiEduHack hackathon. Engaging 29 university students, the study leverages a participatory approach where students utilize their academic experiences to design novel AI-augmented learning solutions. Central to our inquiry is how these students reinterpret their AI knowledge to innovate in education. The hackathon, integrating peer-to-peer collaboration and expert mentorship, acted as a fertile ground for this exploration. Our findings highlight the effectiveness of this challenge-based learning format in fostering innovative educational methods and tools, underscored by the students’ active involvement in the design process. This study not only reflects on the integration of AI in education but also proposes a novel participatory approach for educational development.
