This resource was created to support all educators in the York community in responding to the challenges and affordances of generative AI in the university classroom. It aims to support effective teaching strategies and to ensure that our community builds the critical digital literacy skills needed for the evolving higher-ed landscape.
This fully online, self-paced course is designed to help you explore the practical pedagogy of teaching in the age of artificial intelligence. This course will guide you through a range of topics and resources to understand the implications of this new technology for your course policies, assessments, and teaching strategies.
As you progress through the course modules, you will engage with various challenges, explore curated resources, and develop actionable plans tailored to your own teaching context. Whether you are new to generative AI or already incorporating it in your classroom, this course will support you in developing a robust and pedagogically informed approach to its many facets and implications.
By the end of this course, you will have:
- Explored the impact of generative AI on education.
- Developed strategies for integrating AI tools and/or AI literacy into your teaching.
- Created actionable plans to address specific challenges in your courses.
The four modules of this course are each centred around a key question about how YOU will respond to GenAI in your teaching context:
Module 1
Module 1 asks, “What guidelines, expectations, and standards do we need to have in place around the use of generative AI in our courses?”
Module 2
Module 2 asks, “What can we adapt in our existing teaching and assessment practices as we respond to generative AI?”
Module 3
Module 3 asks, “How can we weave generative AI into the landscape of teaching and learning?”
Module 4
Module 4 asks, “How can our responses to generative AI shape the future of what it means to teach and learn?”
