Speaker
Description
Universities across Europe are experimenting with generative AI tools in teaching and learning. Many early implementations, however, remain isolated pilots or generic chatbot services that are not integrated into institutional course infrastructure. As a result, AI tools are often used outside the context of courses, without clear links to course enrolment, learning environments, or institutional access control. At the University of Helsinki we have explored an alternative approach: connecting generative AI interaction directly to existing university systems and course infrastructure.
What will the TNC audience take away from your talk?
Participants will gain insight into an institutional model where course enrolment, learning environments, and AI interaction are connected into a single pipeline.
The talk demonstrates how course enrolment in Sisu, a course-integrated AI environment (CurreChat), and the learning management system (Moodle) can be linked together to create course-specific AI environments with institutional access control.
The key takeaway is that scalable and pedagogically meaningful AI use in universities becomes possible when AI interaction is embedded directly into course infrastructure rather than offered as a generic chatbot service
