In classLecturer + Students

Engage and motivate

The lecturer opens with subject-related questions or tools such as Mentimeter to gather student answers.

2
In classAI + Lecturer + Students

Prompt with class input

Students use the collected answers to prompt AI for an opinion, then discuss and compare the outputs.

6
Home + In classStudents + GenAI

Work with GenAI

Students produce the video and podcast, using GenAI tools to develop and refine the final media outputs.

7
In classStudents + Lecturer

Evaluate and reflect
