On 11 November 2026, Western Balkans University organised an interactive information session titled “Responsible and Effective Use of AI in Higher Education”, focusing on the opportunities and responsibilities associated with integrating Artificial Intelligence into academic learning.
The session aimed to provide students with practical knowledge and useful tools for incorporating AI into their studies while maintaining academic integrity, critical thinking, and independent learning.
The programme covered three main topics:
- Ethical Use of AI in Academic Life: Responsible use of artificial intelligence, academic integrity, and students' responsibilities within the academic environment, presented by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Erlis Çela.
- Prompt Engineering for Learning: Techniques for writing effective prompts to support understanding, explore ideas, and improve learning outcomes, presented by Dr. Ergys Çokaj.
- AI Tools in Google Classroom: Practical applications of artificial intelligence tools to support learning and classroom activities, presented by MSc. Krisien Xoxa.
Through these presentations, the session highlighted the importance of using AI as a tool to support academic development rather than replace independent thinking. Particular attention was given to the ethical considerations and practical skills required to use emerging technologies responsibly and effectively.
By organising initiatives of this kind, Western Balkans University continues to promote digital literacy, academic integrity, and innovative approaches to teaching and learning, encouraging students to develop the skills needed in an increasingly technology-driven academic and professional environment.
