CIEL is hosting a mini-conference on October 26, 2023 from 8:30am – 3:00pm (hours subject to change) dedicated to exploring GenAI in the teaching learning landscape and we invite you to join us. There are so many things to say about GenAI and the teaching and learning landscape that we hardly know where to start: What is it? Is it actually intelligent? Should I use it? Should I teach my students to use it? What are the ethical considerations? What about privacy and security?  

After conversations with VIU faculty, VIU students, and colleagues at other universities, we’re pretty sure the high-level answer to each of these questions is ‘it’s complicated’. So, to help deepen the conversation in a meaningful way for you and your discipline, we’re hosting a mini-conference on GenAI. 

For more information about the conference and how you can register to attend and participate in it, please view our GenAI Learning and Teaching Mini-Conference Website.
