Integrating AI Literacy into Assignments through AI Chatbots

Abstract

This practitioner paper introduces an Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot designed to support educators in integrating AI into their assignments and assessments. The chatbot transforms traditional assignments into ones that leverage AI tools for scenario-based learning, in-depth exploration, and reflective engagement with course material. By analyzing a diverse set of assignment samples of AI-integrated assessment tasks, the chatbot identifies characteristics such as encouraging students to understand AI's biases and limitations, using AI to enhance creativity and critical thinking, and promoting co-work between students and AI. The proposed chatbot demonstrates its capabilities through exemplar assignments, showcasing its potential to support educators in designing innovative AI-integrated assessments that enrich the learning experience for students.
