“Generative AI + Teaching (Part 1)” – January 31^st, 2024

This series of Winter “Webinettes” (15-minute pedagogical presentations followed by 45 minutes of interactive discussion and Q&A) is exploring the impact of Generative AI and related technologies on our teaching and learning practices, including: lesson design and delivery, assignments and assessments, and teaching strategies and pedagogies.

Our “Part 1” here, had the following intended learning outcomes:
-explain what Generative AI is and what it is not;
-identify key considerations for Gen AI and teaching contexts; and
engage students in conversations on Gen AI in authentic teaching and learning.

Whether you’re an AI novice, sceptic, or already leveraging it in your lessons and courses, this series of sessions is aiming to strengthen our AI literacies and guide us in developing and sustaining pedagogically-sound approaches to teaching in the context of AI. Together, we’re navigating how educational practices are and can be influenced by new technologies, and we’re discussing proactive strategies for integrating generative AI into our courses.
