Using ChatGPT to Design Errors for Learning and Teaching (DELETE ™): Building Learner’s Capabilities in a GenAI world

Generative AI has revolutionised the way we work and learn, demanding not only the application of knowledge but also the ability to pre-empt and innovate. As workplaces evolve amidst dynamic organisational practices and technological advancements, adult educators must adapt to meet emerging learning challenges head-on. This course introduces a unique pedagogical approach centred around DELETE™, an error-based learning methodology developed by Dr. Michael Choy. DELETE™ is the foundation for curriculum design, aiming to create training that mirrors the complexity of real-world job roles. Unlike traditional approaches that focus solely on teaching competencies, DELETE™ emphasises on responding to diverse situations with heightened metacognition and predictive capabilities. To ensure that participants gain a strong foundation in error-based learning, the course will focus on applying DELETE concepts to real-world scenarios. A game-based learning format with errors infused will be used to deepen discussions, negotiations and learning in the workshop. At the end of the course, participants will be equipped with a new pedagogical approach that intentionally incorporates errors into learning processes, fostering the development of cognitive, affective, social, and metacognitive capabilities essential for navigating the complexities of modern workplaces.
