GenAI Dialogue with Safieh Moghaddam: Building Critical AI Literacy Across Course Sizes

February 12 @ 1:30 pm - 2:00 pm

Presenter: Safieh Moghaddam, Associate Professor, Teaching Stream, Department of Language Studies, UTSC

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 Safieh Moghaddam will share her approaches to developing students’ critical AI literacy, and how she has adapted these strategies across course formats, from smaller seminars to large lectures. She will walk through practical considerations for scaling interactive AI literacy work, and will also discuss approaches to strategically limiting AI use in certain contexts to preserve learning goals.
