The advent of AI technologies has disrupted traditional approaches to student learning and assessment, leaving educators in search of effective adaptation strategies.

This Magna Online Seminar features a panel of three educators who address the challenges of integrating AI tools including ChatGPT into education while maintaining academic integrity and how to prepare for a future where AI is an integral part of the teaching and learning experience.

Your expert panel, B. Jean Mandernach, PhD, Thomas Dyer, PhD, and John Steele, PhD answer your questions about embracing this technology while also covering:

  • The role of AI tools in higher education: A brief discussion on the increasing prevalence of AI tools like ChatGPT in the academic environment and the challenges faced by educators in integrating these tools while preserving academic integrity.
  • Enhancing students’ AI literacy: Practical strategies to improve students’ understanding of AI, specifically transforming perceptions of ChatGPT from being a potential assignment shortcut to a valuable learning resource.
  • Incorporating ChatGPT in activities and assignments: An exploration of creative activities and assignments that integrate ChatGPT to foster critical thinking, deepen learning, and develop skills relevant to the modern workforce.
  • ChatGPT as learning support: Insights into how ChatGPT can be presented as a tool for proofreading, editing, and feedback, emphasizing its role as a beneficial resource for students rather than a potential avenue for plagiarism or “cheating.”
  • Preparing for a future with AI: A broader conversation about the rapid evolution of AI and its expected influence across various domains, underscoring the need for educators to equip themselves and their students for a future where AI is a vital component of the teaching and learning experience.

Three reasons why you don’t want to miss this!

  1. With the fast-paced evolution of AI and its expected impact across a multitude of domains, educators must prepare both themselves and their students for a future where AI is an integral part of the teaching and learning experience.
  2. This generation of students will be using AI in their careers, so teaching them how to interface with and bring critical thinking to interactions with AI is a new and necessary skill.
  3. The originally live format provided dynamic interaction with a panel discussion plus an extended Q&A so live participants could ask direct questions and get answers for the personalized guidance needed.
