SUMMARY:Generative AI Assessment Design Clinic
DESCRIPTION:Facilitators: Victoria Sheldon\, Faculty Liaison Coordinator\, Generative AI Pedagogies\, CTSI Cora McCloy\, Faculty Liaison Coordinator\, SoTL\, CTSI Building on the foundation laid in our first workshop\, this hands-on session focuses on translating reimagined learning outcomes into practical\, AI-aware assessments. As we navigate the evolving landscape of education in the age of generative AI\, it is important to align our assessment strategies with the distinctly human skills and AI literacy we aim to foster. In this interactive\, in-person workshop\, instructors will work collaboratively in small groups to revise and develop assessments that reflect their updated learning outcomes. We will explore innovative approaches to assessment that not only acknowledge the presence of AI tools but may also leverage them to support student learning. Participants will: • Analyze real-world examples of AI-aware assessments submitted by University of Toronto instructors  • Engage in guided exercises to redesign their own course assessments\, emphasizing critical thinking\, creativity\, and ethical AI use • Learn strategies for crafting assignments that promote human-AI collaboration while maintaining academic integrity • Develop rubrics that prioritize the evaluation of uniquely human skills By the end of this workshop\, instructors will have developed practical\, tailored assessment ideas that they can refine and implement in their courses. Join us for this collaborative session as you take the next step in adapting your teaching practice in light of generative AI capabilities. This webinar is Part 2 of the CTSI GenAI Workshop Series – Designing for Powerful Learning in the Age of GenAI (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/teaching-uoft-genai/genai-programming/).

SUMMARY:“Can I use this content in this tool?”:  Navigating the Nuances of Copyright and Generative AI
DESCRIPTION:Facilitators: Jordan Holmes\, Senior Manager\, Teaching\, Learning & Technology\, CTSI and Academic\, Research & Collaborative TechnologiesStephanie Orfano\, Head\, Scholarly Communications and Copyright Office\, University of Toronto Libraries (UTL)Victoria Sheldon\, Faculty Liaison Coordinator\, Generative AI Pedagogies\, CTSIGraeme Slaght\, Scholarly Communications and Copyright Librarian\, Scholarly Communications & Copyright Office\, UTLIn the era of widespread GenAI\, answering this question can be more difficult than it seems.  With the rapid evolution of GenAI tools and applications\, the legal and policy frameworks governing GenAI use are full of grey areas and subject to change.  This resulting uncertainty can create challenges in navigating the lawful use of these technologies.  This workshop will introduce participants broadly to questions that arise when integrating approved and non-approved GenAI tools into teaching\, using the metaphor of the “Walled Garden” (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/teaching-uoft-genai/genai-tools/) to frame U of T’s protected digital environment. From there\, the workshop will segue into a more focused discussion on copyright\, using case studies to guide the conversation  By participating in the workshop\, participants will gain a better understanding of the copyright and licensing concerns that govern the use of GenAI tools\, as well as the library eResources that are available to support GenAI use.  Along the way\, participants will become familiar with:  • U of T-recommended best practices for the use of open or closed GenAI tools\, and the suitability of various kind of content in open or closed environments  • Key copyright and licensing terminology to help participants understand their rights and obligations (and those of their students)  • Answers to some common AI copyright and licensing questions

SUMMARY:CTSI Equity Roundtable: Navigating the Risks and Opportunities of Generative AI for Inclusive Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Facilitators: Jordan Holmes\, Senior Manager\, Teaching\, Learning & Technology\, CTSIVictoria Sheldon\, Faculty Liaison Coordinator\, Generative AI Pedagogies\, CTSIGenerative AI presents both opportunities and challenges when it comes to Equity\, Diversity\, Inclusion\, and Accessibility (EDIA) topics. While it offers innovative ways to support learners\, its use in teaching also risks perpetuating existing biases and inequalities. In this Equity Roundtable\, we will explore strategies for mitigating bias\, supporting accessibility\, and promoting cultural humility when using generative AI as a teaching tool. In addition\, we will address the ethical and equity challenges of using generative AI in the context of teaching and learning. Given that generative AI has been trained primarily on datasets that reflect societal biases and predominantly Western perspectives\, participants will consider how to use AI tools to consciously incorporate diverse knowledge systems and foster transparency and accountability. Together\, we will share insights and collaborate on innovative approaches to harness generative AI in ways that genuinely support all learners.
