Presenter: Michelle Arnot, Professor, Teaching Stream and Associate Chair, Undergraduate Education, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology
GenAI Dialogues are informal, 30-minute online sessions where U of T instructors and staff share how they are navigating generative AI in their teaching and learning contexts. Building on discussions from the GenAI Reading Group (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/teaching-uoft-genai/genai-programming/#reading-group), each session features a colleague sharing their experience around a particular theme, followed by open dialogue on what’s working, what’s uncertain, and what we’re considering next.
In this session: Professor Michelle Arnot will share her experiences implementing the Cogniti Virtual Tutor (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/teaching-uoft-genai/genai-tools/#virtual-tutors), as part of U of T’s AI Virtual Tutor Initiative, in two courses: Introduction to Pharmacology and Pharmacokinetic Principles (PCL201H) and Pharmacodynamic Principles (PCL302H). She will present practical insights on integrating Cogniti in her courses, including unexpected benefits and challenges, followed by open discussion.
