Generative AI for Teaching and Learning

What is Generative AI?

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technology that employs massive deep learning models trained on existing data to generate novel content, mimicking human thinking processes (Lim et al., 2023). As one of the first available Large Language Models (LLM) available freely to the public, ChatGPT emerged in November 2022 as a Generative AI tool that allowed anyone to create textual content in response to text prompts. Powered by intelligent text generators, ChatGPT yields outputs that resemble human output. Since that release, many other Generative AI tools, including AI image generators, text-to-video, video-to-text, AI automations, and music generators to name a few. AI has become embedded in devices (phones, computers and tablets) while providing greater applied options but also posing challenges to personal privacy. Using AI in higher education invariably means having discussions with your students, but also consulting with colleagues about the variety of use cases for these powerful new technologies. 

In February 2023, the CTE hosted two open conversations about ChatGPT and its impacts on teaching and learning at CapU:

Session 1: ChatGPT – A Teacher’s Friend or Foe?  Passcode: K?mjy!2Y

Session 2: Assessment Design and ChatGPT Passcode: mM#%5$mW
