All examples listed here can also be used for creating maps and boxes via AI. See examples.

Data Protection Information

All texts entered are sent to the OpenAI API via the Edumaps server. Edumaps does not transmit any of your personal data. On Edumaps, you can delete your requests at any time.
Good to know:
Limited to text-generating AI like ChatGPT and the input of prompts exclusively in the form of digital text, the following usage scenarios have so far been recommended as privacy-friendly.

- The teacher has a private access, free or paid, accepts the prompts from the learning group, inputs them themselves, and shares the results with the learning group. There are no risks for students since they do not interact directly with the platform.

- The teacher has access through a third party, provided by the school / organization / state / media center, and the school has signed a data processing agreement (DPA) with the provider. Through the third-party access, the teacher can create anonymous student accounts. As long as previously established rules are followed, students face no risks when interacting with the platform.

When using the API through a third party, possible risks from user interaction with an AI platform are significantly reduced. The individual user account and metadata from the devices used for access are eliminated, preventing AI providers from linking this information to an identifiable person.

⚠️ Inputs with images and sound are problematic:
Risks for users of AI platforms from providers like OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Anthropic, etc., primarily arise from the content of prompts if these establish a personal reference. These risks increase significantly when combined with an individual user account with the AI provider. Further risks can arise from metadata such as device identifiers, location data, cookies, and trackers, which allow for user identification. When files like images and audio recordings are included in prompts, additional metadata can be transmitted. Photos and videos depicting people or audio inputs contain further data that can establish a personal reference when transmitted to AI platform providers.

Ban on AI in the classroom?

From the AI guideline (NRW):
“A ban on discussing and using AI didactically in the classroom cannot be a sustainable response in the context of a rapidly evolving world in which students live.”
