Promoting academic integrity in light of generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI)

Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, there has been much discussion about how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and ChatGPT, in particular, can be incorporated into our educational systems. Of particular concern to many is the potential for misuse of GenAI in the form of academic misconduct. To address this concern, the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) has partnered with the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) to offer this hybrid session for faculty within FAS. In this workshop we will demonstrate ways in which GenAI and ChatGPT can be incorporated into teaching, guiding attendees in identifying appropriate uses and misuses of this technology and providing attendees with concrete strategies to promote academic integrity. University resources will be reviewed, and the FAS Academic Code of Conduct Administrator will speak to how faculty should proceed if they suspect a student may have violated the code.
