Training: Critical Thinking and Working with Large Language Models (LLMs) in Academic Teaching

Description This training is intended for university educators who wish to use artificial intelligence in teaching consciously and responsibly. Participants will learn the basics of how large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Mistral work, and how to evaluate their usefulness in the teaching process. The session will cover platforms integrating multiple models, common generative errors (hallucinations), biases, and technological limitations. The training includes a practical component, critical reflection on AI applications in academic teaching, and a moderated discussion to encourage sharing experiences and best practices.
