[Past Workshop] Professor Sharon Calor – AI in designing Lessons

Master Class Replay Link

We have our second Professor talk – How Generative AI can empower students’ use of programming when designing lessons

The disruptive emergence of generative AI (GenAI) in 2020 has sparked a wide-ranging debate about the opportunities and risks of integrating GenAI into education and teacher institutes. GenAI is often positioned as promising for promoting learning; at the same time, its use raises critical questions about the reliability and possible effects on students’ critical thinking skills. In this workshop professor Calor will showcase examples how in-service teachers of various school subjects with no or little prior knowledge about programming use GenAI to design lessons in which programming is integrated in order to foster pupils’ learning. Professor Calor is an assistant professor at the teacher academy of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and a senior lecturer and researcher at the teacher academy of University of Amsterdam and Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS). She is also a computer scientist. Her research focuses on scaffolding small-groups’ mathematics learning during collaborative learning and the integration of digital literacy, in particular computational thinking and generative AI, in school subjects. She developed a digital literacy course in which students have been using GenAI to design lessons that foster pupils’ learning for a number of years. She recently developed a teacher training program for Computer Science at AUAS, with a special focus on GenAI, that is intended to start in September 2026.
