Generative AI in Teaching and Learning
At Laurier, we support faculty members in critically considering the adoption of generative AI in their courses where it aligns with how the technology is changing the way in which the world interacts with the discipline/subject matter.
These resources are meant as a beginning to conversations about the rapidly evolving potential impacts on higher education that generative AI is having. Learn more about exploring our generative AI resources at your own P.A.C.E.
