Generative AI and Digital Literacies Workshop Series
The Faculty of Education presents a hybrid workshop series in collaboration with the Faculty of Arts.
The Digital Literacies Lab in the Faculty of Education, in collaboration with the Media Lab in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Manitoba, presents a hybrid speaker series (in-person and online) that will explore the potential and ethical challenges of generative artificial intelligence technologies in education, and the role of digital literacies in this context.
Through engaging talks and workshop-style discussions, this series aims to foster critical dialogue, inspire innovation, and support educators, researchers, and students in navigating the evolving role of AI in teaching, learning, and educational policy. Join us as we delve into opportunities and complexities of artificial intelligence and the role of digital literacies in education and beyond.
Join in-person viewing in the Digital Literacies Lab (RM 328, Education Building) or the Faculty of Arts Media Lab (233 University College) with post-workshop discussions.
All workshops will be streamed on Zoom, with three of the four presenters joining online. Complete event information for each workshop and registration for online viewing can be found here.
