"Facing the reality that a majority of Canadian students are using generative AI for schoolwork, more educators are bringing artificial intelligence into their university classrooms, setting clear rules and encouraging students to use it responsibly and with a critical eye. That's forcing instructors to rethink how they teach and assess students since outside of concerns about academic integrity institutions tend to leave decisions about AI use to individual faculty."
"An AI teaching assistant Antonello Callimaci prioritizes answering student queries promptly dedicating four blocks of time daily to do so. But when the Universite du Quebec a Montreal accounting professor is unavailable (or students are hesitant to reach out directly), Bobby's got his back. Bobby is an AI agent "teaching assistant" that Callimaci built last year by training ChatGPT on the hundreds of assignments, presentations, notes and recorded lectures he's prepared over the years for one of his courses. Accessible 24/7, Bobby's responses come straight from Callimaci's content and also point students back to him for further clarification."
A majority of Canadian students use generative AI for schoolwork, prompting more postsecondary educators to incorporate AI into teaching. Educators are establishing clear rules and encouraging responsible, critical use while rethinking learning objectives and assessment methods. Institutions generally leave AI-use decisions to individual faculty except where academic integrity concerns arise. Some professors create AI teaching assistants by training models on course materials to provide 24/7 summaries, sample exams and specific answers, and to direct students back to instructors. Provinces such as Quebec have issued guidelines to help manage student use and academic standards.
