All Instructors and Staff
Amanda McKenzie and Julie Piatek from the Office of Academic Integrity will host a 60-minute workshop that explores common myths about cheating as well as the new realities facing instructors in an era of ubiquitous generative artificial intelligence.
Instructional Innovations Week 2024 is a series of workshops that explore several themes over several days in the Fall term. This Fall, the themes include, Trauma Informed Care, Artificial Intelligence, Emerging Technologies and Student Led Individually Created Courses (SLICCS).
In this workshop, we will look at The Student Led Individually Created Course (SLICC) reflective experiential learning framework, a framework that is inherently flexible, and promotes student ownership and autonomy through co-creation of their learning experience. The SLICC framework can be integrated into courses at different levels, varying class sizes, and is well suited to capstone and field courses, research and project-based courses, work placements, volunteer, and community service-learning opportunities.
One of the guiding principles of Waterloo's Educational Technology's Governance groups is "Provide inclusive and equitable access", but what does that mean in practice? Join us for a presentation and discussion about how the EdTech Advisory group has put this principle into action and hear from members of the Centre for Extended Learning (CEL) who have used the same approach in their response to the emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI).
