Establishment of the STL Working Group on the Implications of Generative AI tools (STL AI WG)

At its meeting of January 18, 2023, STL established the STL AI WG for teaching and learning at McGill. The STL AI WG will provide recommendations for supporting instructors, students, and academic administrators regarding the appropriate use of AI-generative tools in teaching and learning at McGill. These will include:

  • Informing the community about the current capabilities of AI-generative tools.
  • Provide guidance on using such tools as part of instructional strategies.
  • Provide guidance on using such tools in assessment of student learning.
  • A proposed plan of activities for such support, including informational and community building. These may includes:
    • Publishing documentation (e.g., Teaching and Learning Knowledge Base articles); blog posts.
    • Producing instructional videos.
    • Offering consultations (e.g., review course outlines; design rubrics/rating scales).
      • for individual instructors.
      • for departments/units/Faculties.

The STL AI WG will be expected to work until May 2023, with monthly reports to STL at meetings or by email.

Teaching and Learning Services acknowledges and thanks the diverse Indigenous peoples whose footsteps mark this territory on which peoples of the world now gather. This land acknowledgement is shared as a starting point to provide context for further learning and action.
