Spread the Word: Student participation in GenAIEL |
|
|
|
TMU’s Generative AI and Experiential Learning (GenAIEL) working group seeks to include graduate and undergraduate student members in the conversation and draw on their insights and expertise.
As student members, they'll help co-develop recommendations and resources, drawing on their own EL experiences and opportunities. No AI expertise needed. AI enthusiasts and skeptics alike are welcome. We encourage you to share this with any faculty, instructors, or staff in your area who might help disseminate it to interested students.
Students are invited to complete our 5-minute interest form (no commitment). Invited students will receive a small honourarium. Questions regarding the working group, an alternative form, or other accommodation needs can be sent to experiential@torontomu.ca.
