SUMMARY:[External] Contact North - Transform Learning for Every Student: How to Use AI to Make Open Education Resources More Accessible and Personalized
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nREGISTER HERE \nAI is transforming how we create\, adapt and deliver open educational content\, reshaping not only the resources themselves but also how learners engage with them. As education shifts toward greater inclusivity and personalization\, Open Education Resources (OER) play a critical role in ensuring access for all. This webinar explores how educators can harness AI to enhance OER — making them more interactive\, adaptive and responsive to diverse learner needs across contexts\, disciplines and abilities. Participants in this webinar will gain practical strategies to innovate teaching materials while addressing accessibility\, personalization\, equity and quality assurance. They will leave with actionable tools and approaches to ensure OER remain relevant\, high-quality and impactful for students worldwide. \nKey takeaways \n\nTransform static resources into dynamic learning experiences through AI-driven interactivity\, simulations and multimedia content\nPersonalize learning at scale with AI-powered lessons\, quizzes and adaptive scaffolding for diverse learner needs\nBreak down barriers to access using AI translation\, accessibility features for students with disabilities and low-bandwidth deployment strategies\nEnsure quality and build trust with AI-supported fact-checking\, outcome alignment and peer-review systems\nFuture-proof educational content through VR/AR integration\, adaptive pathways and continuous content updates\nNavigate ethical AI use in education by addressing privacy\, fairness and equitable access challenges

SUMMARY:[External] Contact North - What AI Is Doing to Student Thinking and What Educators Can Do About It
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nREGISTER HERE \nAs generative AI becomes embedded in research\, writing and classroom practices\, students are increasingly rewarded for asking questions that are direct\, efficient and easily answered by machines. Although this shift may enhance productivity\, it also risks diminishing the kind of open-ended\, ambiguous questions that cultivate critical thinking\, creativity and intellectual resilience. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Victoria Livingstone (Johns Hopkins University) and Jeppe Klitgaard Stricker (Aalborg University) draw on their influential UNESCO article\, The Disappearance of the Unclear Question\, to explore how the rise of AI is reshaping inquiry and what educators can do to safeguard the deeper forms of learning that depend on uncertainty\, struggle\, and reflection. The session also highlights strategies for integrating AI in ways that support — rather than replace — the essential processes of questioning and discovery. \nKey takeaways \n\nThe role of ambiguity in learning: Why friction and uncertainty remain essential to deep intellectual engagement\nShifts in student inquiry: How AI is moving student habits from asking questions to generating prompts\nAsking vs. prompting: Understanding the pedagogical difference between inquiry and command-based interaction\nReclaiming intellectual friction: Teaching approaches that foster critical thinking\nRethinking assessment: Reflections on how AI forces us to reevaluate old mod— and why that may be a good thing

SUMMARY:GenAI - Ethical and Responsible Use
DESCRIPTION:GenAI – Ethical and Responsible Use \nDo you ever wonder how generative AI tools are developed or trained?

SUMMARY:GenAI - Ethical and Responsible Use
DESCRIPTION:GenAI – Ethical and Responsible Use \nDo you ever wonder how generative AI tools are developed or trained? Have you considered the hidden costs of asking AI to write a letter or create a funny image? What does AI do with the information we provide it? Can we use AI to create assessments but tell students not to use it in their responses? In this session  we’ll explore these and more topics relating to ethical and responsible use of generative AI tools. Everyone is welcome. \nThe session on May 29th will be held in-person in Room 1204.
