New Faculty

In our current political and social landscape, students are hyperaware and hypersensitive to topics that broach themes of violence, oppression, and power. The hyperawareness of students poses an interesting challenge for instructors, as they need to learn to address student socio-emotional needs without altering and jeopardizing essential content. 

​This workshop explores practical ways GenAI can assist in developing a wide range of teaching materials.

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. 

​GenAI tools are transforming education by providing new ways to support, individualize, and deepen student learning. But, to unlock their full potential, educators and students must learn to prompt effectively. 

​This session is designed for instructors and staff who want to create more inclusive learning environments while navigating the opportunities and challenges of emerging AI tools. 

​​AI capabilities are rapidly advancing, now matching or exceeding student-level work across multiple domains such as writing, coding, and analysis. These developments are reshaping teaching practices and course dynamics, prompting educators to rethink assessments, redesign curriculum, and equip students with the skills needed to effectively navigate and leverage AI in their future careers.
