The Generative AI Studios are open for all faculty and staff at UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan on teaching and learning topics related to the use of tools such as ChatGPT, Stability AI, Google Bard and others. Register for the clinic The sessions will be in an open-hours format, where the questions will be answered…

This online session is designed for faculty and staff who are new to this area. We will introduce large language models such as ChatGPT and explore their implications for teaching, learning, and curriculum design.

This interactive session will explore strategies for guiding students in the responsible and effective use of AI tools across disciplines. We will discuss how to scaffold student learning with AI, from ideation and research to writing and problem-solving, while promoting academic integrity, critical thinking, and digital literacy.

This interactive session explores how foundation models like ChatGPT and Claude, along with tools such as Google LM and AITutor Pro, can support faculty in developing teaching materials across different modalities including text, visuals, and audio-video.

This interactive online session explores how generative AI tools can support the reflective process of making your teaching values visible to your learners and your colleagues. Through discussion and guided experimentation, participants will gain practical strategies to express who they are as educators.

Discover how Generative AI can transform your approach to teaching material development. This interactive session explores how foundation models like ChatGPT and Claude, along with tools such as Google LM and AI Tutor Pro, can support faculty in developing teaching materials across different modalities including text, visuals, and audio-video.

In this interactive session, we will examine recent changes in AI tools and outputs, with a focus on foundational models and how they have evolved. We will explore tools related to deep research, video creation, and reasoning, and discuss what these developments might mean for your academic practice.

This session explores how educators can redesign assessment practices to reflect the new realities of AI-enhanced learning. Rather than focusing on detection or prohibition, we will look at how to create assessments that support critical thinking, transparency, and process-based learning. 

In this interactive workshop, experienced GenAI users will explore how to use AI tools to clarify the deeper purpose of their teaching. Through empathy mapping and the Big Idea framework, you will uncover insights about your learners and articulate a meaningful vision for your course. 

This session focuses on designing learning activities that intentionally incorporate generative AI in ways that align with effective teaching practices. Participants will explore examples of AI-integrated activities across different disciplines and consider how these approaches can support course objectives.
