Are you thinking about using Generative AI in your course design or teaching practice? Deciding if, when and how to use Generative AI in your own practice as an educator is a complex task involving a host of ethical, practical, legal, institutional and pedagogical considerations.The complexity of these decisions requires a thoughtful, iterative approach.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Start small with low-stakes experiments
- Engage with colleagues and the CTE
- Remain flexible as both the technology and your understanding evolve.
Remember that the goal isn’t to find the perfect solution immediately, but to develop a framework for making informed decisions that align with your educational values and serve your students’ best interests. The landscape of AI in education will continue to change, and your approach should be designed to adapt along with it.
The University of Waterloo Library has developed this Generative Artificial Intelligence Appraisal Tool | Online Learning Object Repository to help you frame your thinking about using these tools.
