Teaching in Learning Spaces Across Campus

There is a wide variety of physical learning spaces across the UCalgary campus. From large lecture theatres to small seminar rooms, or spaces with moveable furniture arranged in small groups. In any of these spaces teaching strategies can have a direct impact on student engagement and learning. But what are the most effective teaching and learning strategies in these different spaces and how can you prepare your course with the learning space in mind? Join us and a panel of instructors to learn about the impact the learning space has on course design and what happens in the space.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Algorithmic Tools and Content Creation

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad field incorporating many techniques for computers to solve problems in ways humans might. Recent advances in computing and AI have made AI much more relevant to education. AI can now influence the tools that institutions use to support students, the ways students create work, the ways instructors create work and assessments, and how information is created, used and shared.

When designing courses, understanding what AI can do and what it can't do is important to choosing the outcomes, assessments and activities that work for you and your students. It might be that some activities need to be modified to focus on how students achieve the learning outcomes. In other situations AI may enable you and your students to do new types of work which allows you to transform your course.

Join us for a discussion about the capabilities of AI, the impacts it can have on teaching and learning and what kinds of decisions we can make in light of this rapidly changing field.
