Artificial Intelligence (AI) Teaching & Learning Supports
Explore resources to understand best practices related to Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools in the classroom. The University of Calgary strives to provide meaningful opportunities in teaching and learning where students have access to programs that are current, relevant and innovative. Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) will continue to be incorporated into educational tools.
Maximizing learning with effective GenAI prompt writing: An instructor’s resource for students
As workplaces start seeing the benefits of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools for productivity, proficiency, and creativity, higher education can play a key role in helping students develop the necessary skills for the successful and responsible use of GenAI (Keyhani et al, 2023). Course instructors can guide their students further towards AI literacy, which is essential for future professionals across diverse disciplines.
Don't Redesign, just reflect: A student critical reflection learning tool for GenAI use in assessments
This resource provides a student self-assessment tool that supports integrating emerging technologies, such as generative AI (GenAI), into their assignments. Course instructors can use this tool to adapt existing assignments and enhance teaching practices.
STRIVE: Emerging Considerations When Designing Assessments for Artificial Intelligence Use
This resource is for academic staff, post-doctoral scholars, and graduate assistants teaching (TAs) to learn more about how best to design and/or modify course assessments that permit students’ use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) to complete their assignments in academic courses.
Teaching and Learning with Artificial Intelligence Apps
Artificial intelligence apps, such as ChatGPT, can be part of our educational toolbox just as dictionaries, calculators, and web searches are. If we think of artificial intelligence apps as another tool that students can use to ethically demonstrate their knowledge and learning, then we can emphasize learning as a process not a product.
Exploring Artificial Intelligence and Assessments
This short guide provides some context on Generative Artificial Intelligence for instructors, as well as some suggestions for ethically addressing artificial intelligence in teaching and learning. There are also some risks and limitations you may need to consider as well as some guiding questions and approaches which may help mitigate those risks and limitations.
A First Response to Assessment and ChatGPT in your Courses
Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) tools, such as ChatGPT, have triggered reactions in higher education, ranging from fear about impacts on academic integrity, to concerns about the tool’s effectiveness, to opportunities to innovate. This resource focuses on assessment, particularly how to engage with your teaching team and students to understand what ChatGPT is, how it may be used in student work and how it may be used as part of assessment.
