Thursday, February 12, 2026 10:00 am - 11:00 am EST (GMT -05:00)

Location: Online

Facilitators: Madison Hill

CTE acknowledges the complexity of GenAI, including its social, ethical, and pedagogical dimensions, as well as the potential benefits and challenges it poses within educational contexts. This workshop is designed to provide an opportunity to learn about the tools available and to better equip you to make an informed decision about their use.

Description

​AI is rapidly changing the education landscape and the overall student experience in higher education. Join us as we discuss Indigenous perspective on AI, balanced with a review of the Critical AI framework & theories and AI as another wave of colonialism. 

We will spend the second portion of the session in a sharing circle to further discuss the topics covered.
