AI as a Teaching Assistant

Use AI chatbots as 24/7 teaching assistants:

• Answer student questions outside class hours
• Provide additional explanations
• Offer practice problems with instant feedback
• Reference your course materials

Ethical Considerations

• Transparency: Tell students when they're interacting with AI
• Critical thinking: Teach students to evaluate AI outputs
• Equity: Ensure all students have access to AI tools
• Privacy: Don't upload student data to public AI tools

Real Example: Language Tutoring

A French tutor in Rabat uses AI to create personalized conversation practice for each student. Students practice with AI between sessions, and the tutor reviews the transcripts to plan future lessons. Student progress accelerated 2x.
