Let's Talk Teaching - Harnessing AI to enhance students' learning

Posting Date(s)

A note on format: We're going to try a different approach this year for Let's Talk Teaching with two timeslots before the semester begins (we'll add more if needed). The first will be Thursday, August 24, from 10:00 to 11:30 am, and the second will be Friday, August 25, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm in the Teaching and Learning Centre, Robertson Library Annex Room 230. Join us for informal sharing of questions, concerns, and inspirations as you prepare for your fall semester classes.

Our Topic: We all know that Googling something isn’t research and using generative AI to write a paper isn’t learning. In this session however, we’ll discuss how AI, when used as a learning tool and not just to generate output, can positively affect teaching and learning. We’ll discuss how you can re-examine your assignments to better align tasks with higher level learning outcomes such as critical and creative thinking and address the future of generative AI in education and the work world.
