Reflections on Eaquals Online session “Responsible Use of AI in Education”, presented by Chris Sanders Tarhan, Associate Director for Assessments at MEF University.
I was able to follow Mr. Sander’s presentation with more comprehensive notes and as it is about a flashy topic in ELT, I have decided to write about this presentation among others in Equals Online event which was held 11-12 October 2024. In his talk, “Responsible Use of AI”, Chris Sanders, Associate Director for Assessments at MEF University in Istanbul, explored both the benefits and challenges of using AI in education, urging educators to integrate AI carefully and ethically. Coming from a tech background with a focus on educational assessments, Sanders emphasized the importance of using AI purposefully to meet clear learning objectives. He also advocated for setting guidelines that address ethical concerns and align AI use with educational goals.
