GenA.I. in Teaching and Learning
Since their rise in popularity, generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) and large language models (LLMs) have had implications in higher education鈥攊n the form of both disruptions and opportunities鈥攆or faculty who teach and students who learn. Gen AI technologies have postsecondary institutions considering questions around assessment, academic integrity, intellectual property, and equitable access to gen AI tools.
The CLT has assembled a variety of resources to assist instructors in learning more about gen AI, exploring ways of engaging students around these tools, designing assessments with AI in mind, and considering some of the ethical and social impacts. As new resources become available, we will update this webpage. As this is an ever-growing resource about an ever-evolving tool, we welcome your feedback on aspects we could improve upon or elements we could add. Please contact us at聽onlinepedagogy@dal.ca.

The CLT has developed a set of PowerPoint slides to facilitate a dialogue between you and your students and to help them learn more about generative AI. You can customize these to fit your own needs or context. |

Individual Consultations and Group WorkshopsEducational developers at the CLT are available to consult with instructors individually or provide workshops for groups around gen AI in the classroom. Topics in the past have included introduction to gen AI in the higher ed classroom; writing an AI syllabus statement; practical applications of gen A.I. for teachers; and designing assessments with AI in mind.

Using AI Tools at Dal
One thing to keep in mind is that 9 1免费版下 does not currently have a gen AI tool that's been through a Privacy Impact Assessment.聽However, everyone has access to the Enterprise version of Copilot through the Microsoft 365 suite of apps through聽. As a faculty member, if you are going to ask students to use generative AI in your courses, you can only require they聽, and not any other AI tool or platform.
