The increasing prevalence and near ubiquity of generative artificial intelligence is beginning to transform higher education, presenting both opportunities and challenges. In many respects this technology is not new, and neither are the conversations about new technologies in the classroom. This session will explore how generative AI can enhance personalized learning and streamline teaching while considering the implications for academic integrity, ethical use, and intellectual property.
We will explore and discuss strategies for leveraging AI to provide adaptive feedback that supports diverse learner needs, ethical considerations of AI-generated content, and pedagogical shifts necessary to address cognitive offloading and student reliance on AI tools. These issues will only grow in prominence as AI becomes integrated into the classroom.
Participants will engage with their personal and professional experiences as educators, learners, and users of AI, reflecting on and integrating these experiences with pedagogical best practices to bring new insights to the conversation.
