Five projects exploring new possibilities for teaching and learning
In June 2026, the University of Waterloo announced five projects selected through the inaugural GenAI Teaching and Learning Fellowship competition, launched by the Office of the Associate Vice-President, Academic (AVPA) in the Winter 2026 academic term.
The five Tier 1 Fellowship teams are exploring how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) can address practical teaching and learning challenges across disciplines. With project funding, Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses, student research and coordination support, and guidance from the Integrated Teaching Support Unit (ITSU), Fellows are developing, testing, and evaluating new approaches to teaching and learning.
As projects move from initial design into testing and implementation, teams are already identifying opportunities, challenges, and important considerations for integrating GenAI into educational practice.
