Generative AI in the classroom
With generative AI tools readily available to students, student assessment was a recurrent topic of discussion at a bilingual, two-day symposium hosted by Â鶹AV last month in partnership with Google and the PĂ´le interordres de MontrĂ©al.
EduGenAI: Shaping Tomorrow’s Learning with Generative AI attracted more than 100 higher-education and industry leaders for wide-ranging presentations, panel discussions and workshops exploring the evolving role of generative AI in the classroom.
“The generative AI tools that have proliferated over the past 18 months have raised complex and urgent questions for higher education,” said Eric D. Kolaczyk, Director of Â鶹AV’s Computational and Data Systems Initiative (CDSI) and a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
“This symposium fostered engaging discussions among stakeholders across disciplines and institutions, underscoring how salient an issue this is in our community, and emphasizing the need for ongoing dialogue.”
