Description

Conversations around AI in Higher Education usually revolve around whether students should or should not use artificial intelligence. In this session, we will take that conversation a step further by exploring multiple scenarios and discussing when it is "okay" for students to utilize AI tools. We'll consider the advantages, downsides, and ethical implications of using AI in various situations and explore how to craft a syllabus AI Policy in order to clearly communicate our expectations with students. Join us as we continue to explore the role of AI in Higher Education in this interactive workshop that poses as many questions as answers.

Objectives

  • Identify situations in which students might use artificial intelligence.
  • Evaluate the potential benefits and drawbacks of AI use from pedagogical, ethical, and practical perspectives.
