How to use AI in your teaching


Summary

Professor Acar introduces the Pair Framework, advocating for AI as a learning collaborator to enhance student skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence. The framework focuses on problem formulation, exploration, and reflection, with steps including problem identification, AI tool selection, interaction, and reflection.
