Project-work Artificial Intelligence Integration Framework (PAIIF): Developing a CDIO-based framework for educational integration

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) have sparked confusion and concern regarding their impact on education. Beyond the assessment integrity risks that currently draw the most attention, technologies such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini have also been identified as tools that can support learning. Project work, especially when there is no single correct solution, provides a great opportunity for integration, fostering technology knowledge and higher learning standards. However, no AI-integration framework for project-based work is available, resulting in a limited understanding of how AI integration can occur or be maximized. To address this, a collaborative effort of 16 ed..
