Exploring Active Learning and AI: Highlights from Our February Super Collab

Earlier this year, we gathered online for an interactive, French-language “Super Collab” — In This session, we used AI to help organize our ideas in a real-time exploration of how humans can learn and grow alongside AI. It was part conversation, part collaboration, and completely engaging.

Here’s a look at what we created together:

Participants

This “Super Collab” had a vibrant energy with participants joining from all corners of the world — including Africa, Switzerland, and North Carolina. I tuned in from Vancouver and was happy for the opportunity to practice my French and hear the diverse perspectives of the other participants.

Co-Construction Consciente

This session centred around a theme we’ve been exploring in depth this year: Active Learning in Relation to AI.

During the ideation period, or co-construction, we reflected on powerful questions like:

• What is inherent to human nature? What can people do to improve themselves on an individual basis?

• How can use human-machine integration to connect more deeply with our own humanity?

• Is it possible that artificial intelligence can increase human intelligence?

Dialogue avec le chat IA

After a thoughtful co-construction period, we began a dialogue with various generative AI models. We asked Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, and Mistral to summarize the “concepts clés” from our collaborative whiteboard.

Claude noted:

“Ce tableau montre une approche équilibrée entre technologie et humanité, soulignant l'importance de l'apprentissage continu.”

Translation:

This whiteboard shows a balanced approach between technology and humanity, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning.

Gemini said:

"Il soulève des questions cruciales sur le rôle de l'homme dans le développement de l'IA et comment nous pouvons utiliser l'IA pour améliorer nos capacités et résoudre des problèmes complexes.”

Translation:

It raises crucial questions about the role of humans in the development of AI and how we can use AI to enhance our capabilities and solve complex problems.

Cercle de Fermeture

To wind down after a powerful session, we began our closing circle. It’s here where participants shared reflections and feedback and takeaways. Some of their key thoughts included:

• Intégrer les nouveaux outils

• Développer la capacité de réfléchir

• Intégrer les aspects philosophiques

• Apprécier la richesse de la diversité

All in all, participants commented positively on their experience, calling it:

“Super bien!” - Very good!

“Ça nous fait plaisir!” - It was our pleasure!

“Inscrivez-vous!” - Sign-up!

I too found this collab to be super bien! It was an enriching experience and I learned a lot from the participants and the discussion we had. I can’t wait for our next one!
