Using Bing Chat and ChatGPT for research:
How can they support your literature review and data analysis?
Thursday, July 27, 2023: 10:30 a.m. (In-person: AT 212 - Wicked Problems Lab); 1:00 p.m. (Online)
In this workshop, we will explore how Bing Chat and ChatGPT, and other AI tools can help faculty, staff, and students with various aspects of research, such as literature review, data analysis, report writing, etc. We will also look at how AI models can generate content such as summaries, abstracts, citations, tables, etc. *Bring your laptop if you’d like to try out some of these models for yourselves.
*To access ChatGPT, you’ll need to create an OpenAI account.
*To access to Bing Chat, you’ll need to download Microsoft Edge web browser.
Developing Syllabus Statements that Address the Use of Generative AI
Friday, July 28, 2023 | 11:00 am to 12:00 pm | Atrium 216
Participants in this hands-on workshop will review some examples of language used to regulate the use of generative AI (such as ChatGPT and Bing Chat) in classroom settings. This will provide an opportunity to discuss how we will communicate expectations to students in the upcoming academic year. By the end of this session, participants will have some useful examples to incorporate in their syllabi as well as templates for academic integrity pledges (also known as honour statements) that can be shared as handouts or embedded in BrightSpace. If you have already found some syllabus language you’d like to share, please bring it with you.

I am an Educational Developer, Teaching Support in the Studio for Teaching and Learning and have been an Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Education since 2015 teaching on a range of courses in the International Master of Teaching English (IMTE) program. I am also a Doctoral Researcher in E-Research and Technology-Enhanced Learning at Lancaster University, UK, and my research interests to date have included exploring the intersection of plurilingual practices and digital spaces. In the last six months I have experienced first hand how AI can support my daily productivity, teaching, and research. As I move forward in my research, I am interested in the emergence of generative AI and how it can support and enhance teaching, learning, and training.
