EDLAB education innovation project

AI & education at Maastricht University

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data-driven technologies have the potential to address some of the biggest needs in education today and innovate teaching and learning practices. However, rapid technological developments inevitably bring multiple risks and challenges.

Maastricht University recognises the importance of harnessing the opportunities of AI technologies while ensuring a safe and effective integration of such technologies into the PBL curriculum in alignment with the core learning principles Contextual, Collaborative, Constructive and Self-directed (CCCS).

This page examines the educational implications of two AI applications: Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Learning Analytics.
