The use of AI in lectures and exercises

Using AI tools to shape the future of higher education teaching

AI-supported teaching methods are becoming increasingly common in lectures and tutorials. During the visit by Bavarian Minister of Science Markus Blume to the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the focus was on various tools developed at Bavarian universities.

OneTutor startup supports students with AI-powered chat and quizzes

Asking for clarification during lectures and getting precise answers within seconds or being quizzed on the material on the go with questions tailored to individual needs: this is made possible by the startup OneTutor, established at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The digital study tool is already being used at 30 universities.
