ChatGPT, OpenAI & Co.: Generative AI and the Future of Learning, Assessment & Work
Speaker: Chris Cramer


Generative AI, including ChatGPT, are much more than buzzwords since they first made a big news splash late last year. The impact on our personal and professional lives is anticipated to be substantial, and professionals in teaching, learning, and assessment were the first to be impacted. This session will give an overview of what Generative AI is, especially how ChatGPT and other applications will impact teachers and learners alike and how we need to adjust. Examples of best practices will be shared in this thought-provoking session.

Academic Integrity: Challenges and Root Causes and What Can be Done to Combat Misconduct
Speaker: Dr. Sarah Elaine Eaton


Join us to learn about the foundations of academic misconduct, as well as some of the root causes and drivers of misconduct. Academic integrity is not just about preventing cheating or plagiarism. Instead, it is a foundation for ethical decision-making in professional life and everyday decisions. We will discuss how and why academic integrity goes beyond student conduct and involves multiple stakeholders in different and complementary ways. Learn about the role that empathy and compassion play in supporting student success. We will also examine trends and tactics used across the post-secondary sector to uphold integrity. By the end of this presentation, you will be inspired to think of yourself as an ethical educator and professional, setting an example and expectations for your students as future professionals.
