Designing Learning Activities (AI)
Examples of Learning activities from educators across Canada
Many institutions across Canada have begun exploring thoughtful ways to integrate generative AI tools into the classroom. The examples below showcase how some educators are using AI to enhance learning through activities that promote critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.

1.
Critical Evaluation of AI Output
Task
Provide an AI-generated response to a prompt and have students critique it for accuracy, bias, tone, or completeness.
- Critical thinking and fact-checking
- Media literacy and bias awareness
- Academic writing and revision skills
2.
AI-Assisted Writing with Reflection
Task
Students complete part of a writing assignment using GenAI (e.g., first draft, outline, or idea generation), then submit a reflection discussing how they used the tool, what they edited, and why.
- Academic integrity and transparency
- Metacognition about the writing process
- Ethical considerations of AI use
3.
Role-Play or Simulation with AI
Task
Use GenAI to simulate a character, historical figure, client, or case scenario. Students then interact with the AI and reflect on how they responded or what they learned.
- Applied knowledge in real-world contexts
- Communication and empathy
- Professional judgment and ethical decision-making
