AI in Teaching and Learning Spaces

Event Date & Time

Event Description

This event is part of the TA Institute, taking place from January 13-17, 2025

In-person

Eligibility: The TA Institute is open to undergraduate and graduate TAs, and all graduate students who are interested in teaching. This session is not open staff, or faculty.

Participants should bring a laptop or electronic device to use in the session. The utilization of diverse Artificial Intelligence (AI) forms, including tools like ChatGPT, has become a prominent topic in recent discussions. As educators, it is essential for us to reflect on our involvement with AI and its potential impact on learning experiences—whether it serves to enhance or diminish them. Throughout this session, we will explore the applications of AI, examining both its potential drawbacks in a classroom setting and the possibilities for integrating it to augment certain lessons. There will also be an opportunity to work with some AI platforms in the session through guided activities.

• Kenny Chiu, Graduate Facilitator, PhD Candidate in Statistics
