Learning with Artificial Intelligence (AI) at CUE

Posted on: Apr 13, 2023

Teaching & Learning with AI (Artificial Intelligence) Lunch & Learn

When: Monday, April 25, 2023 12-1:00 pm

Where: HA 207

The introduction of ChatGPT in early December has encouraged instructors to reflect on the role of artificial intelligence in our teaching practices. As we face the opportunities and challenges that AI provides Higher Education, we are hoping to have some informal conversations about how instructors and staff are working with AI. 

The institution will be creating guidelines around AI, but we need your first hand experiences to guide and highlight future policies and procedures.  This is an opportunity to collectively build knowledge and strategies to support our learners. 

We want to hear about YOUR perspectives and experiences in order to expand upon the CTE resources and other professional learning opportunities to better meet your needs. We have invited partners from the Innovation Lab and IT department in an attempt to have multiple perspectives and expertise work together in informing the whole community on what is happening and could happen in learning contexts. 

Anyone from the CUE community is welcome to attend.  Please bring your lunch and join us in conversation for this CTE Lunch & Learn. Please register here: https://forms.gle/2YwE8KVJPLrLcFwA8

ETMOOC2 : Artificial Intelligence and YOU a Mini-MOOC 

GIven all the recent discussions about ChatGPT and AI, instructors, staff and students may be interested in participating in this mini-MOOC co-designed by Dr. Alec Couros (URegina Centre for Teaching and Learning) and a team of expert conspirators.

Verena’s CUE-CTE Recommendation:

I was part of the original ETMOOC experience 10 years ago. It was a major motivator in shaping the way I learn in professional online networked learning contexts. I developed my digital literacy skills by actually co-designing a specific course focus and participating in the course activities. I learned by doing and engaging with others.  I even wrote a chapter about it here with my colleagues Susan Spellman-Cann, Erin Luong and Christina Hendricks: https://pressbooks.pub/humanmooc/chapter/social-learning-in-online-environments/

I will be participating in #ETMOOC2 and I encourage as many CUE instructors, staff and students to join me in learning about AI as well! 

This is the course elevator pitch from the #ETMOOC2 website:

“Generative AI in Education” is an experience that delves into the rapidly evolving world of generative artificial intelligence and its potentially transformative disruptive impact on lifelong learning and education. The mini-mooc offers a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the potential, implications, and ethical considerations of generative AI, with the goal of exploring knowledge and skills to harness the power of AI in reshaping education and fostering human-centric conversations.

Our philosophy is that this is all so new and rapidly evolving that there are not many experts. People who explore this with us will be closer to the head of the class than they otherwise might be. No one here is much further ahead than anyone else. Our goal is that at the end of this we will be equipped with some additional knowledge and tools to be active participants in shaping the future of AI-driven learning and teaching.”
