About the Event
Join us for this 90-minute virtual workshop in partnership with the University of Victoria.
As Generative AI (GenAI) tools, including educational tools, become increasingly integrated into our technology, educators face complex decisions about how, when, and whether to incorporate them into teaching and learning. This workshop employs the Indigenous 5Rs framework—Respect, Relevance, Reciprocity, Responsibility, and Relationships—as a reflective model to guide critical evaluation of GenAI’s role in educational contexts such as course design, learning activities, and assessment practices. The framework provides language and reflective practices for educators to articulate principled, context-specific decisions about GenAI adoption, constraint, or refusal, and consider how these same lenses can support students’ critical and ethical decision-making about their own engagement with GenAI tools.
