An Introduction to the AI Toolkit for Educators
CTLI, JIBC Library, The Writing Centre, and Student Services Hosts AI Week at the JIBC!
What’s World AI Week?
As you know, there is a lot going on in the world of AI. This new and growing technology is spreading like wildfire and upending many of our current educational practices, among other major disruptions. October 6-10 is World AI Week, led by an organization called Inspired Minds, who have organized an international conference on AI during this week.
At JIBC, we are planning our own events for World AI week, and we’d like you to be part of the action! We would like to use this week as an opportunity to gather and discuss how AI is affecting our work as educators.
Our hope is that we can engage with a range of members of our JIBC community to talk about how AI is affecting our practices as educators while considering effective responses to this new technology.
