Nordic Initiative on AI in Business, Economics and Social Science Teaching

The Nordic Initiative on AI in Business, Economics and Social Sciences Teaching (Nordic AI-BEST) joins together teachers from Aalborg University, Denmark, Gothenburg University, Sweden, The Norwegian School of Economics, Norway, and Tampere University, Finland, in the development of novel teaching and assessment methods levering AI technology for higher education. The team consist of 13 teachers, who combine teaching experience, technical knowledge on AI, didactic expertise, and research experience on the effect of AI on jobs in developing novel teaching and assessment methods to accomplish three goals 1) Exploit the strengths of AI to attain existing learning objectives for students. 2) Add new learning outcomes to curricula that emphasize students’ knowledge, skills, and competences for working with AI and 3) Update higher education assessment methods to a time where AI makes traditional assessment methods obsolete.
Attaining these three goals contributes to higher education evolving alongside technology to leverage its benefits in teaching and ensuring that students are prepared for the novel jobs and tasks that new technology brings.
The methods developed in the project will be applied in teaching at the participating teachers’ home institutions. The experience built in the application will be evaluated by both teachers and students, and the results are made publicly available in an open access final report, in a peer reviewed publication, and continuously during the project in news articles from the participating institutions.
