Pedagogy without Borders: New Frontiers of Teaching and Technology

Following years of advancement, Generative Artificial Intelligence (Ai) came out in fall 2022 as a disruptive force in the post-secondary education sector. Students, professors, and administrators were immediately faced with questions around appropriate use in teaching and learning with the initial focus being on academic integrity. Since then, we have been grappling with these and broader questions around the use of Ai in PSE. How, when and where should Ai be used in teaching and learning? How can we use it ethically and effectively in research and administrative tasks? From the initial polarity in perspectives and the cautious stance on the part of institutions, things have thawed into more of a pragmatic orientation towards Ai use.  In this talk we will share our response at Trent, discussing our strategy and process as well as challenges and early insights gained from consultation with students, faculty and staff. Links will be provided to a survey tool we used to gather data on practices and attitudes towards AI use in teaching, learning and administrative roles.
