Seminar Explores Adapting Instruction in the Age of AI

The Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) at Al-Ahliyya Amman University (AAU) recently hosted a high-profile seminar titled "Adapting Instruction in the Age of AI," drawing more than 150 participants. The large crowd included faculty members, teaching assistants, and researchers keen on navigating the massive shift artificial intelligence is bringing to higher education. The event lines up directly with AAU's broader strategy to weave advanced technologies into its academic frameworks. The goal is to empower educators to redesign traditional teaching methods for a machine-learning era. Redefining Pedagogical Strategies University leaders and educational experts opened the seminar by stressing that AI should complement, rather than replace, human-led instruction. Key sessions during the day focused on actionable ways to redesign classrooms, including: Active Learning Integration: Shifting lecture structures toward interactive, problem-based learning models to keep students engaged. Intelligent Material Design: Helping professors build dynamic syllabi that utilize large language models responsibly. Combating Plagiarism: Using proactive methods to spot AI-generated cheating while promoting digital academic integrity.
