As a graduate student, academic honesty and scholarly integrity are an important part of joining and contributing to academic conversations in your discipline. Join the Centre for Scholarly Communication (CSC) as we discuss questions like: What does academic integrity mean in graduate school? How can I get support for learning to paraphrase other authors effectively? What is self-plagiarism and how does it connect to copyright? Where can I get help to design a Research Data Management plan that is effective and ethical? What strategies can I use when searching the literature to keep track of my sources?
Please bring your questions about academic and scholarly integrity to this interactive workshop.

October 19, 2023 | 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. | Zoom
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the academic domain presents a complex interplay of opportunities and challenges. Generative AI (GenAI) has particular implications for pedagogical practices and academic integrity, especially in the design of academic assignments. This workshop seeks to explore the nuanced relationship between Generative AI and assignment design, highlighting both its constructive and disruptive potentials.
You will learn how to create assignments that can help mitigate the capabilities of generative AI but also leverage its potential for enhancing student learning, all while emphasizing equity and student privacy.
Session hosted by Lucas Wright (Senior Educational Consultant, CTLT), Marie Krbavac (Faculty Liaison, Science, CTLT), Manuel Dias (Educational Consultant: Learning Design, CTLT), and Judy Chan (Faculty Associate, Faculty Liaison (Land and Food Systems), CTLT).
