During the past year, I have become deeply involved in a number of pan-Canadian and international projects looking into the challenges and opportunities of generative AI tools in teaching and learning for higher education institutions. In this workshop, I will share some of the ways in which Canadian institutions are moving ahead in this space, in terms of organising their approaches and driving pedagogical experimentation, along with some of the challenges being encountered along the way. Participants will have an opportunity to share their thoughts and reflections within their own contexts.
