To mark Open Education Week, Clint Lalonde (Director of Open Education, BCcampus) and Chloe McGinley (Acting Associate Dean & Director of The Learning Center, College of the Canyons) will discuss the opportunities and challenges of using Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) to create open educational resources (OER) and to support open education more generally. They will talk about the copyright implications and ethical considerations of using GenAI to assist the creation and adaptation of OER.
This will be a hybrid event. Those interested can either join us in-person in The Science Building, Room 2810 or join via Zoom (register here).
