Artificial Intelligence (AI) in teaching and learning

Are you wondering how generative AI, like ChatGPT, will affect teaching and learning in higher education? We have collected some resources, in a variety of formats, together in one place as a starting point.

Did you know York's Vice-Provost of Teaching and Learning has their own page? - Generative AI in Teaching and Learning, which includes a wealth of real-world examples, practical advice, and up-to date resources for students and faculty, with a separate section for graduate studies. You will also find a page to support our community in ethical discussions around AI, and a page on the basics of AI, GenAI 101.
