Academic Integrity Speaker Series - The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI (Presented by Dr. Tricia Bertram Gallant)
Fri, Oct 3rd, 12:00 - 1:00 PM, Zoom
Event Description:
Are Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) tools a threat to academic integrity or an opportunity for us to evolve teaching, learning and assessment? The answer is both, of course! In this session, we’ll focus on understanding the threats and opportunities and then identifying the options that faculty have for minimizing the threat and amplifying the opportunities. In thinking about one thing we can do next week, next term and next year, participants will leave the session empowered to craft their Gen AI and AI policy while creating a culture of integrity within their classes.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve and ensure your students are prepared for the challenges of tomorrow. Register now!
