AI Applications in Teaching: Case Studies

Transformation

To promote the application of artificial intelligence in the teaching process and to build a collaborative mechanism for AI application cases in education, Shanghai Jiao Tong University encourages all faculty and students to co-create and share, thereby enhancing the quality of teaching with the help of AI. Below are the collected and organized “AI in Teaching Application Cases” from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Analysis

Wenxin Yiyuan

Obtain keywords corresponding to technical terms through interaction with AI, and use these keywords to search for a more accurate understanding of the current state of engineering technology.

Introduction to Engineering

(Chinese)

Exam: Analysis and comparison of design schemes for specific requirements

Exam

Wenxin Yiyuan

Conduct two identical exams: the first without AI assistance and the second with it, comparing the time taken and the quality of answers submitted to assess students’ actual learning outcomes.

Introduction to Engineering

(Chinese)

Teaching case production: Thinking case anecdotes

Teaching resource development

Wenxin Yiyuan

Find a classic thinking scenario from daily life, have AI generate a script, and automatically create a teaching video with accompanying images to enliven the classroom atmosphere and make it easy to understand.

Introduction to Engineering

(Chinese)

Teaching case production: Myths and values

Teaching resource development

Wenxin Yiyuan

Ask AI for mythological stories that reflect engineering ethics, select one to generate the story text, and use audio and video software to create a 1-minute story explanation case.

Introduction to Engineering

(Chinese)

Arduino code debugging

Assignment

Wenxin Yiyuan

Arduino programming required for course projects, where freshmen typically encounter many bugs during the assignment process; AI can guide them by providing solutions directly upon pasting error messages.

French 1

Teaching case production: French scripts related to family relationships

Creation

Xunfei Spark

During the stage of learning expressions related to family relationships in French, obtain two French scripts suitable for two groups of French beginners (10 people each) through interaction with AI for classroom performance, with teacher guidance.

French 1

Teaching case production: AI-generated French poetry suitable for students’ learning levels

Creation

Xunfei Spark

After completing the introductory French course, encourage students to create poetry; beforehand, interact with AI to obtain simple French poetry that includes grammar points learned at the current stage, and have students participate in a roundtable on poetry creation and recitation.

French 1

Customized after-class assignments based on students’ varying levels of knowledge mastery

Assignment

Xunfei Spark

Submit students’ responses to each dictation content to AI for analysis, identify weak grammar points, and tailor after-class exercises for each student, including multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions.

French 1

AI-assisted framework sorting of grammar points and self-assessment of mastery

Teaching resource development, visualization

Xunfei Spark

For each specific grammar point, such as prepositions, AI lists commonly used prepositions and provides example sentences and exercises. Then, AI generates a self-assessment evaluation form for mastery of all commonly used prepositions, allowing students to self-test and focus on memorizing weak vocabulary.

Design Drawing

AI-assisted design generation of folded shapes

Assignment, understanding

Midjourney

Assist students without design and art backgrounds in generating geometric or folded entities for design expansion, allowing partial folding selection.

Design Drawing

AI-assisted design generation and representation of LEGO blocks

Assignment, analysis

Midjourney

Use AI to generate stacked forms and perform corresponding LEGO assembly based on generated shapes. Learn AI techniques for coloring and expressing thickness in LEGO profiles.

Design Drawing

AI-assisted design generation and representation of Monument Valley scenes

Assignment, creation

Midjourney

Use Midjourney to generate scenes from Monument Valley as references or to assist in modifying levels; use AI-generated scenes for final drawing of levels; utilize AI for color pencil or marker rendering of Monument Valley; perform tracing; and use AI for axial design references (may not support Chinese characters) and angle-switching studies.

Design Drawing

AI-assisted generation of 3D chess models

Assignment, creation

Midjourney

Use AI-generated reference images, translate and model using Rhino, and finally render the effect diagram for 3D printing the final model.

Architectural Mechanics

Classroom practice scheme design

Creation

Wenxin Yiyuan, Xunfei Spark, Tongyi Qianwen

Utilize tools like ChatGPT for continuous questioning to design the technical approach from classroom practice scheme design to material selection and implementation.

Architectural Mechanics

Design and development of teaching aids

Teaching resource development

Xunfei Spark, Wenxin Yiyuan

Develop simple and intuitive teaching aids for abstract theories using AI tools and teachers’ design experience.

Architectural Mechanics

Update teaching cases

Teaching resource development

Wenxin Yiyuan, Xunfei Spark, Tongyi Qianwen

Update relevant engineering cases in the course, transforming previously answer-focused short-answer questions into training for logical thinking during the process.

College English

AI-assisted evaluation and feedback on writing tasks

Exam, assignment

Awesome

Fine-tune Chat GPT according to the scoring criteria for this course’s writing exams to assist in grading large-scale English writing exams.

College Physics

AI-assisted pre-class preparation and post-class assignments; AI-assisted classroom teaching behavior analysis

Assignment, analysis, visualization, understanding

Llama2, OpenCV, OpenPose, Haar

Use AI to assist in writing pre-class preparation and post-class assignments, specifically through student interaction with AI, where students pose questions and difficulties, and AI provides answers. In class, use AI visualization solutions: Haar cascade detection of facial expressions + OpenPose human posture recognition. Monitor facial expressions and body postures of teachers and students in class to establish a correspondence between teaching behaviors and characteristics such as body movements, postures, and expressions, thereby creating a corresponding indicator system to make the measurement of teaching behaviors more operational. Ultimately, achieve data-driven and controllable student learning behaviors during university physics lab courses before, during, and after class to enhance teaching effectiveness.
