What Should Your Submission Include?

Identify a Use Case of an existing AI tool, then critically evaluate its impact on learning and justify or challenge its use. Use examples from your own learning and experiences.

This can be as simple as the prompts you use for ChatGPT or the way you integrate Elicit AI into your research workflow! It's not at all required to code or build anything new -- we want to hear how YOU use AI and your explanation of how it impacts your learning!

We care about your explanation and critique of a Use Case just as much as the Use Case itself. A successful submission might consist of a thorough breakdown of why a Use Case does NOT benefit learning!

1.  Use Case Title:

Name the Use Case

2. Description (50 words):

Provide a concise and comprehensive overview of the Use Case.

• Describe the use case and name the AI tools involved.

• Who is the target audience for the Use Case?

• What problem does this solve for you?

3. Tutorial for Use and Best Practices:

Equip others with the knowledge to replicate and utilize your AI tool effectively.

• Provide a step-by-step guide on how to use the AI tool.

• Incorporate best practices where relevant.

• Include extra resources (links to LLM conversations, screenshots, diagrams) to enhance understanding.

4. Impact on Learning:

Analyze the educational implications of the Use Case.

• What specific aspect of your learning does this AI Use Case affect?

• What would your learning look like without this?

• What are the specific advantages of this Use Case compared to other ones?

5. Limitations and Ethical Considerations

Critique the Use Case and its drawbacks.

• How and when might the Use Case be hindering learning?

• What biases might be at play? 

• How can you make sure of the validity of the AI-generated results?

AI Classroom Challenge: Example Submissions

A note about accessibility:

Some AI tools, such as GPT4 and Midjourney, exist largely behind a paywall, limiting their accessibility, particularly for low-income individuals. However, we understand that paid tools can allow for stronger Use Cases and therefore, highly encourage submissions to use free AI tools wherever possible, but will not prohibit or penalize submissions that use paid tools.

Also note that the strength of submissions will be judged on their creativity in leveraging existing technologies and the justification given, neither of which is limited by access to paid tools in the case of AI.

Awards and Judging

Winners of the AI Classroom Challenge will receive a cash prize of $500. 5 winners will be chosen by the community, and 5 will be chosen by a panel of judges, composed of industry experts.

What will happen to my submission after the challenge?

Submissions will be made public for anyone to see. This repository of Use Cases will contribute to making AI more accessible in Education and help improve learning.

Ready to Submit?

The AI Classroom Challenge is more than a competition; it's a movement to embrace the power of AI in education. Whether you're presenting what you already do or thinking outside the box to create novel solutions, we can't wait to see what you come up with!
