Details
This interactive, hands-on session invites instructors to explore and experiment with generative AI tools in a supportive, low-stakes environment. Through guided activities and demonstrations, participants will critically and creatively examine how generative AI can be used to develop lecture content, design active learning experiences, and support both teaching and student learning. The session will include opportunities for discussion and sharing, helping participants build confidence and curiosity in integrating AI into their own teaching practices.
No prior experience with AI is needed.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify practical uses of AI tools for instructors and students to support teaching, student engagement, and student learning.
- Use AI to generate draft activities, lecture outlines or content, and course materials.
- Evaluate AI-generated content for relevance, accuracy, and pedagogical fit, and alignment with course learning outcomes and goals.
This workshop is open to all faculty, instructors, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students from the University of Guelph, University of Guelph-Humber, and Ridgetown Campus.
