GenAI in Practice: from Vibe Coding to Teaching Innovation
How do you build a complete tool without writing code? And what does it mean when students use GenAI as naturally as a pen or a textbook? In this English-language webinar from our "Peers & Prompts" series, Maxime Van Haeverbeke (UGent) explores vibe coding, while Gustavo Rovelo Ruiz (UHasselt) shares strategies for dealing with the impact of GenAI on teaching practice.
Learn from colleagues how they use AI tools to support and adapt their daily work, education, and research.Practical information:

Ctrl + Shift + Teach: Educating in the Age of GenAI
Gustavo Rovelo Ruiz, UHasselt
We can no longer deny the impact of Generative AI (GenAI) on our lives, and our classrooms are no exception. Accessing information and presenting it creatively has become a matter of knowing how to ask the right question to your favorite GenAI tool. This technology is now omnipresent: students don’t need to make any special effort to seek help from it, as it is integrated into everyday tools—from simple notepads to modern search engines.
In this talk, Gustavo will share empirical strategies adopted by teaching staff in higher education at UHasselt to address this new reality—approaches that invite us to rethink not only what we teach, but how we teach in the age of GenAI.

An introduction to vibe coding
Maxime Van Haeverbeke, UGent
Nowadays we've all become familiar with the convenience and risks of tools like ChatGPT. In this session we'll cover the supercharged version of such tools, where complete webtools, codebases or even a flight simulator can be made with generative AI. What's more, users don't even need to write a single line of code. However, like ChatGPT, due supervision and criticism are required to make vibe coding productive.
