Focus Areas for 2024-2025:
- The AI Sandbox: A space dedicated to experimenting with, and reviewing, artificial intelligence (AI)-based learning technologies.
- The No-Go EdTech Sandbox: A space aimed at examining learning technologies educators, students, and staff should avoid using in teaching and learning, and why.
In these two-hour live streamed webinars, expert leaders will introduce and demonstrate cutting-edge, open, and free, or low-cost educational technology tools.
By actively participating in these sandbox sessions, participants will experiment with tools, work with fellow educators to review features of the tools, gain insights into teaching activities, and discover ways to integrate these tools into courses.
Recordings of the presentations and reviews of the tools will be available on our website following the event.
About the Session:
In this workshop, we will engage in a mock learning design activity using ChatGPT to critically examine the generative AI’s output. We will ask ChatGPT to develop assessment instructions based on contextual information such as course goals and pedagogical theories. We will practice digital literacy and critical thinking skills to evaluate ChatGPT’s output and redesign of the assessment. At the end, we will have a group discussion on ethical considerations and implications for AI literacy, exploring how this activity format can be used for learning and teaching AI literacy.
Registration coming soon!
This session will be recorded, archived, and made available publicly on BCcampus.ca. By participating in this session, you acknowledge you are aware your participation will be recorded and the recording will be openly available.
