Using Artificial Intelligence as a Teaching Tool: Best practices and strategies

Patrick Campbell

While much attention is focused on ChatGPT as a threat to academic integrity, this workshop will instead consider ChatGPT/AI's tremendous promise as a teaching tool. We will introduce participants to a broad range of teaching practices that incorporate ChatGPT. These will cover a wide range of subject areas (art and music to the sciences). My goal is that every participant will leave with one new AI-infused assignment to test in their classes.

Using CARE reports and supporting students with challenges outside the classroom 

Jennifer Jensen & Tracey Cameron
