GenA.I. Community of Practice
Wednesday, November 27
2-3 p.m.
Join us for the November meeting of 新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 Generative A.I. in Teaching and Learning Community of Practice.
This month鈥檚 topic
Technologies are not value neutral nor inert; they change us as much as we change them. Langdon Winner, one such philosopher, coined the term 鈥渞everse adaptation.鈥� Here he posited that tools and technologies are created so that they can serve us; however, in many instances, it is we who serve even simple tools such as clocks or houses. Ivan Illich suggests there has been a watershed moment for Western cultures in which technology has ceased, in general, to improve human life and now rather detracts from it. He asks if there can be better ways to create and use tools to support human flourishing ("for conviviality"). In this presentation and discussion we will ask the question of whether AI can be a tool for conviviality, and if so, how this may be possible.

新加坡六合彩开奖直播 the GenA.I. CoP
The aim of the GenA.I. in Teaching and Learning Community of Practice is to create a space for cautious, critical, and open discussion and sharing around using (or not using) generative artificial intelligence in the classroom or in teaching and learning work. We welcome presentations or other organized discussions that showcase use in classrooms; discuss ethical use; describe guiding students in its use/non-use; or brainstorm general implications or consequences for any aspect of teaching, learning or being part of the university.
Anyone is welcome to join the GenA.I. CoP, including instructors, graduate students, staff, and faculty. No expertise in generative A.I. is required. Reach out to eLearning@dal.ca with any questions. If not already a member of the CoP, register for the event to receive information on joining the Teams site. You can also search for 鈥淕enA.I. CoP鈥� in Teams to join.
