Recent technological advances are transforming the way that education is done. Following a rapid move toward eLearning and online teaching in 2020, new and improved educational technologies were adapted to facilitate a more engaging student experience. Recently, the rise of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has required schools to re-evaluate how teaching and learning can be done differently to not only co-exist but improve with the effective use of these tools.
Fanshawe College has a framework which sets out the vision and guidelines for the application of AI in teaching and learning, in a way that supports ethical and effective use. This 2024-2025 framework and its supporting documents are available here: Artificial Intelligence Academic Framework.
The pages below provide additional, specific guidance for the implementation and use of AI and other educational technologies at Fanshawe College from a faculty perspective.
