SUMMARY:Designing Meaningful Learning Activities with Generative AI
DESCRIPTION:Facilitators: Victoria Sheldon\, Faculty Liaison Coordinator\, Generative AI Pedagogies\, CTSI Derek Hunt\, Faculty Liaison\, Teaching\, Learning & Technology\, CTSI/ARCAs the third and final installment of this series\, this workshop will explore how generative AI tools may be leveraged to offer new avenues for fostering meaningful learning and engagement. Inspired by James Lang’s “small teaching” approach\, participants will examine actionable\, incremental ways to create and modify learning activities\, with the goal of cultivating critical thinking\, creativity\, and problem-solving. Participants will consider how and when to incorporate generative AI into learning activities\, so that AI literacy skill-building is introduced slowly and progressively\, in alignment with comfort levels and learning goals. In addition\, the session will explore ways to speak with students about generative AI capabilities\, limitations\, and risks\, so that they have a clear understanding of what responsible AI use looks like in practice.  Throughout the workshop\, participants will engage in hands-on exercises and explore disciplinary examples of integrating generative AI into classroom interactions. Instructors will consider the extent to which generative AI use in learning activities may support course-level learning outcomes\, leading students to foster meaningful connections between the course content and their own lives. Join us in this interactive conversation as we explore strategies for integrating generative AI into learning activities\, encouraging meaningful engagement and promoting responsible technology use. This webinar is Part 3 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:CTSI Equity Roundtable - Rethinking Professionalism: Embedding Equity\, Diversity\, and Anti-Oppressive Practices in Healthcare Education
DESCRIPTION:Facilitators:Jaris Swidrovich\, Assistant Professor\, Teaching Stream\, Indigenous Engagement Lead\, Leslie Dan Faculty of PharmacyM. Shone Joos\, Assistant Professor\, Teaching Stream\, Temerty Faculty of Medicine \nDescription:Join us for an open and engaging roundtable discussion where we will rethink the concept of professionalism through the lenses of equity\, diversity\, and anti-oppressive practices using examples from the health professions. Together\, we’ll explore how traditionally Western ideas and standards of professionalism may inadvertently reinforce power imbalances and marginalize diverse perspectives. Through participant-driven discussions and shared curiosity\, we will critically examine ways to foster an inclusive\, socially responsive professional culture. This roundtable invites you to share your experiences\, ask questions\, and collaboratively develop strategies to promote equity and actively challenge traditional notions of professionalism in healthcare education that honours the identities\, experiences\, and rights of healthcare providers\, patients\, faculty and students.

SUMMARY:Generative AI Sandbox: Exploring course uses for instructors
DESCRIPTION:Facilitators: Will Heikoop\, Coordinator Digital Learning Innovation\, ITS Derek Hunt\, Faculty Liaison\, Teaching\, Learning & Technology\, CTSI
 Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring how instructors can make use of Generative AI tools available within the University of Toronto environment to support teaching and learning. This workshop is intended for those who are intrigued by AI but may feel cautious about trying it out in your course. We will demonstrate and practice with AI tools available to instructors and students for use in course work for this fall 2024 semester. Learn to navigate AI platforms while protecting your and your student’s personal data\, as we generate examples and explore use cases to support your course learning objectives.  Participants are requested to bring with them a laptop to this session and download the Microsoft Edge browser (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/download?ch=1&form=MA13FJ) on the device (if not already installed) in order to participate in full. Cell phones and tablets will not suffice for full participation in this session.  We also suggest you read the CTSI Teaching with Generative AI at U of T\, Generative AI Tools (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/teaching-uoft-genai/genai-tools/) page before the session.

SUMMARY:Creative and Critical Thinking with Generative AI
DESCRIPTION:Facilitators: Victoria Sheldon\, Faculty Liaison Coordinator\, Generative AI Pedagogies\, CTSIRob Huang\, Educational Developer\, Instructional Practices and Student Engagement\, Robert Gillespie Academic Skills\, Centre\, Institute for the Study of University PedagogyGenerative AI tools have the potential to be used as metacognitive partners\, promoting deeper levels of divergent thinking\, reflection\, and analysis. In this online workshop\, we will explore the implications of generative artificial intelligence on creative and critical thinking. The aim is to provide an overview of creative and critical thinking models that could be applied in your teaching and learning practice while exploring and critically evaluating how generative AI could enhance\, extend\, empower or hinder student creative and critical thinking. Session objectives: • Examine models of creativity and critical thinking • Explore the pedagogical implications of integrating generative AI-assisted creative and critical thinking in curriculum design • Discuss strategies for incorporating generative AI into course design\, learning activities\, and assessments that focus on creative and critical thinking • Evaluate potential challenges to creative and critical thinking posed by generative AI\, and develop strategies to mitigate these risks when integrating AI tools into teaching contexts
