Generative AI Teaching Showcase (Online - 12:00-1:30 March 21, 2025)
Are you curious about incorporating AI into your teaching? Join us for an AI teaching showcase to hear specific examples and practical advice from your colleagues who are using AI in their teaching either for assessment or for classroom activities.
Learn how your colleagues across York are integrating AI into teaching and assessment, with time for discussion and questions.
Alidad Amirfazli (Professor, Mechanical Engineering) will share class activities from a 4th year course he developed and co-taught, in which students used AI tools in a mechanical design context. The AI tools were used to gather information, develop conceptual design ideas, and, in some cases, use specialized software tools for simulating the performance of the developed design ideas.
Robert McKeown (Assistant Professor, Department of Economics) will share a class activity designed to help students overcome mathematical barriers using large language models (LLMs) as interactive tutors. In this exercise, students engaged in group problem-solving, sought individual assistance from LLMs, and participated in class discussions within a flipped classroom format.
Andrew Sarta (Assistant Professor, Strategy, ADMS) will discuss an assignment from his Innovation & Creativity Course, which invited students to use AI to develop innovative solutions to entrepreneurial problems and share lessons learned based on students’ feedback and achievement of the learning outcomes.
