Empowering Education with AI: Using ChatGPT to Enhance Teaching, Critical Thinking, and Debate Skills
5 November 2025
14:00 - 15:00
Ready to bring AI into your teaching practice? In this interactive 1-hour workshop, you'll explore how ChatGPT can support the development of critical thinking and debating skills in education. Through hands-on activities, participants will use GPTs (customised versions of ChatGPT designed for specific tasks like tutoring or debating) to explore complex problems, build debating skills, and see how AI can support, not replace, human teaching. Ideal for educators who are open to experimenting with innovative digital tools. Come curious, leave inspired.
A few words from the speaker: As an Educational Advisor at TU Delft, I support course teams in designing engaging and impactful learning experiences. In addition, together with my colleagues, we work on guidelines and test existing AI tools to make our course development process more efficient. Through my PhD research as an educational researcher, I study the effect of AI on critical thinking skills.
With experience at renowned institutions such as the Open University and the UNESCO-affiliated IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, I have expertise in didactics, assessment, instructional design, and (international) teacher professionalisation.
With this expertise, I aim to contribute to a learning environment that is as flexible and dynamic as the digital world around us.
