Artificial Intelligence Teaching Lab
Teaching and Learning in the Age of AI
Location: LUMS Learning Institute- Ground Floor Academic Block (Out-Gate Entrance; Opposite OSA)
Workshop Description
The AI Teaching Lab (AITL) is a monthly, faculty-focused initiative by the LUMS Learning Institute designed to support thoughtful, responsible, and innovative engagement with artificial intelligence in higher education.
As generative AI increasingly shapes how knowledge is produced, assessed, and learned, AITL provides a collaborative space for LUMS faculty to explore both the possibilities and challenges of AI in teaching and learning. Through hands-on sessions, faculty-led discussions, and shared classroom experiments, participants examine how AI can be leveraged to enhance learning, without compromising critical thinking, academic integrity, or the development of human expertise.
Led by different faculty members each time, every session features a new theme, ranging from assessment in the age of AI and human vs. AI capabilities, to key competencies for today’s world, AI and students, and responsible and ethical AI use. Faculty are encouraged to bring their own teaching questions, experiments, and experiences, successes and failures alike, into the conversation.
The AI Teaching Lab (AITL) is not about tools alone; it is about rethinking pedagogy, assessment, and learning design in an AI-rich academic environment. Together, the LUMS teaching community builds shared understanding, practical strategies, and a growing repository of innovations that reflect the realities of our classrooms.
