Hani Alers, Aleksandra Malinowska, Mathis Mourey, Jasper Waaijer

This paper introduces SELAR, a framework designed to effectively help teachers integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into their curriculum. The framework was designed by running workshops organized to gather lecturers' feedback. In this paper, we assess the effectiveness of the framework through additional workshops organized with lecturers from the Hague University of Applied Sciences. The workshops tested the application of the framework to adapt existing courses to leverage generative AI technology. Each participant was tasked to apply SELAR to one of their learning goals in order to evaluate AI integration potential and, if successful, to update the teaching methods accordingly. Findings show that teachers were able to effectively use the SELAR to integrate generative AI into their courses. Future work will focus on providing additional guidance and examples to use the framework more effectively.
