This workshop will explore key learning challenges and opportunities presented by AI, particularly as they connect to students’ research and writing. The Library and Student Learning Services offer a range of resources to help learners develop digital literacy, writing skills, and an appreciation of academic integrity, all of which have been complicated by the emergence of Generative AI. In this session, presenters from the Library and the Writing Centre will review how our services support Humber students as they navigate these challenges. Participants will have an opportunity to reflect on their approach to guiding and appropriately limiting unauthorized AI use in the classroom, as well as to discover the support resources available to them and their students.
