SUMMARY:Developing AI-Literacy Activities for Meaningful Learning in Tutorials and Labs
DESCRIPTION:Asteaching assistants\, you are often the first point of contact for students asthey experiment\, question\, and work through new ideas and tools. This makesyour role especially important in helping students develop not only conceptualknowledge\, but also the ability to engage with emerging technologies likegenerative AI (GenAI) in a thoughtful\, critical\, and responsible way. \nThissession is designed to support you in bridging course goals with practical\,day-to-day learning experiences in labs and tutorials. By focusing on AIliteracy\, you will gain concrete strategies to help students criticallyevaluate AI-generated content\, recognize the ethical and social stakes of AIsystems\, and integrate discipline-specific activities that foster confidenceand discernment in using these tools\, as well as foundational understanding ofcourse material. \nThis session’s approach will be guided by the University of Toronto Libraries’ AI LiteracyFramework and the GenAI Literacy Course Modules from Open UToronto\, which together emphasize three interconnected dimensions of AI literacy: understanding\, using\, and evaluating AI tools. This foundation ensures that activities you design are not just about functionality\, but also about developing critical awareness and responsible engagement in relation to course content. Together\, these resources provide a scaffold for activity design that is evidence-based\, adaptable\, and aligned with the values of ethical\, equitable teaching and learning.

SUMMARY:Getting started with Generative AI tools at U of T
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an interactive virtual drop-in session designed for University of Toronto instructors and staff. We will provide an overview of the approved generative AI tools at the University and give demonstrations which will provide you with the opportunity to get hands-on experience with the suite of approved tools. \nFocus:
Our primary goal is to familiarize you with how to access and use generative AI tools in a secure and responsible manner. We’ll guide you through logging in with privacy protections in place and compare the differences between the various technologies. \nWhat to Expect: \n\nA comparison of the various approved generative AI tools at the University of Toronto.\nA walkthrough of the secure login process for accessing U of T–approved generative AI tools.\nLive demonstrations of key features across various generative AI platforms.\nOpen Q&A to address your questions\, concerns\, or ideas.\n\nDrop in anytime between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM—stay for a few minutes or the full session! \nDon’t miss this chance to explore how approved generative AI tools can support your day-to-day work and enrich your teaching and research. We look forward to helping you confidently engage with these innovative tools.
