AI-Powered Teaching

Date: 05-11-2026
Time: 1:30 pm
Venue: Pazhassi Hall, Pazhassi Raja NSS College
Place: Mattannur, Kerala
Format: In person

A session for teachers at Pazhassi Raja NSS College, Mattannur, organised by the college's Research Cell, in Pazhassi Hall. We began with what AI is, and what it is not. Then we worked through five areas: lesson planning, creating teaching materials, student engagement, assessment and feedback, and AI in higher education and research. Teachers practised a five-part way to write a prompt: role, context, task, format and limits. In one live activity, they tried to spot an AI “hallucination”, an invented answer given with confidence. While the session ran, an AI helper built on a Google Sheet drafted feedback on 24 answers in English and Malayalam. The final mark stayed with the teacher. Another prepared lesson slides and handouts. We also discussed student data privacy, why AI detectors should not be trusted on their own, and a suggested one-page AI policy for the college. Each department received a toolkit to continue the work.
