 Welcome to MC92, our introductory course to artificial intelligence language assistance in higher education. Like all courses on the virtual linguistics campus, MC92 starts with a preliminary section where all administrative aspects of the course are explained. Assessment, principles of online studying, references, authorship etc. If you are an experienced VLC user you can skip this section and move on with the main content. The first content section deals with the challenges of natural language processing. It introduces the basic concepts, compares classical and modern language models and highlights the differences between earlier AI-based and today's generative chatbots. Undoubtedly all language systems will change higher education. For this reason the second section labeled didactics will look at the consequences for studying and teaching. We will discuss questions such as how can AI language systems be used productively by students and teachers? How can these systems enrich teaching and learning and what challenges are there and how can they be met? Section 3 focuses on assessment. Here the central issues are how are different forms of examinations affected by the use of AI language assistance? When and why is the use of text generating tools cheating? And how can didactic measures and assessment criteria be adapted to these new conditions? For those users who have never dealt with assessment this section also hosts an introductory overview of assessment at its onset. The final section is about how academic writing is being influenced. It shows how artificial intelligence tools can be used responsibly as tools for brainstorming, unburdening, structuring and optimizing texts. The course is certified and it can be completed within about 50 hours. Each of the four content units has a mastery test where in the case of success you can earn a badge. Well and if you have four badges and have gone through and ticked off the content you will receive the final certificate.
