ABSTRACT: Rapidly emerging AI technologies are transforming educators' roles. AI tools already aid in creating engaging materials and facilitating self-study, and the future points towards personalized learning experiences tailored to individual needs. Yet, the recent reshaping of the educational landscape reminds us of the irreplaceable value of human interaction. Skills like communication, collaboration, and hands-on exploration remain central, areas where AI falls short. In this keynote, we delve into the integration of traditional teaching methods with AI, especially generative chatbots, while mindful of ethical considerations. This fusion aims to prepare educators and students for a rapidly evolving educational environment. Such a strategy not only prepares students for a future deeply intertwined with AI but also ensures they are both technically savvy and ethically aware.

ABSTRACT: In large university courses, many students face challenges in mastering programming skills, which underlines the need for effective pedagogical support. The Artemis learning platform has been providing interactive learning through automated feedback since 2016. Since October 2023, it offers fully personalized support with detailed explanations based on generative AI. The general availability of large language models enabled the creation of IRIS, a virtual assistant designed to offer context-sensitive support. Deployed as part of Artemis, IRIS is accessible to thousands of TUM students. This presentation highlights the challenges of developing AI assistance in education and motivates ongoing research focused on analyzing student behavior and evaluating the impact on their learning experience.
Stephan Krusche inspires students in computer science. He conducts research at the intersection of educational technologies, software engineering, and human computer interaction, and explores robotics and machine learning. Prof. Krusche developed the open-source learning and research platform Artemis, which is used in many courses at TUM to enhance the learning experience. With the help of automation and artificial intelligence, it reduces the workload for lecturers and creates free space for personal interactions. In his dissertation, Prof. Krusche developed the process model Rugby, which improves quality in software development and teaching. In his habilitation he established the teaching methodology Interactive Learning, which is applied at several European universities. He holds the professorship for Software Engineering in Heilbronn, leads a research group in Garching and is involved in the EdTech Center. He organizes international summer schools, interactive lectures with 2,000 students and project courses with industry partners.
