#OA Book: 101 Creative Ideas to Use AI in Education

This open crowdsourced collection presents a rich tapestry of our collective thinking in the first months of 2023 stitching together potential alternative uses and applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that could make a difference and create new learning, development, teaching and assessment opportunities. Experimentation is at the heart of learning, teaching and scholarship. Being open to diverse ideas will help us make novel connections that can lead to new discoveries and insights to make a positive contribution to our world. Ideas shared may be in its embryonic stage, but worth exploring further through active and creative inquiry.

With the publication, we would like to illuminate the importance of responsible, critical and ethical use of AI in education settings and more generally.

A special thank you to Bushra Hashim, MEDes Candidate in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape at the University of Calgary, for the beautiful design.

“This collection represents vision; it embodies creativity. The importance of perspective and community of practice comes to life here in the breadth of examples demonstrating creative ideas to use AI in education. As we explore how we design new experiences for our learners and differentiate opportunities to engage in new ways, we have an opportunity to push our own boundaries and explore. We can collaborate, radically. This is a collection that will only grow as we shift our own practice and as we allow ourselves to experiment and iterate for a transformational student experience.” – Dr Margaret Korosec, Dean of Online and Digital Education, University of Leeds.

About the Design

The book has been designed with a diverse readership in mind. Our student designer has used her varied experience and connections to ensure digital/graphic accessibility. Layout and colours have been selected so that text and non-decorative images are legible for a broad audience. We have also organized all the text and figure elements in the correct order for screen readers. The table of contents and the 101 Ideas page have been linked to their respective pages for easy orientation and navigation.

Note: Most images in this collection were submitted as screenshots, impacting visual resolution and legibility. We hope to resolve this in future volumes.
